Description

A book about running. And not running.

Like many modern women, Emma Campbell has spent her whole life 'running': to keep up, to hold everything together, 'running' because the alternative, slowing down or (god forbid) stopping is actually quite terrifying. It took her third cancer diagnosis to discover the restorative power of slowing down – both in life and in her runs.

In Running, Still, Emma truly learns how taking your time can be life-changing. Amid relationship breakdowns, cancer treatment, raising her four children and caring for elderly parents, she finds the joy of a soul-boosting, recharging, gentle real-life run. Alongside her own journey Emma draws on the words and wisdom of other women: she shares slow miles with friends – including Bryony Gordon and the late Dame Deborah James – who are running on empty and considers why so many of us don't know how to stop 'running' and start truly living.

Written by someone who isn't particularly bothered about personal bests, runs staggeringly slow marathons and still doesn't know what splits are, this is a story about choosing a different pace. It's about the elation that running can offer, and a reminder that there's no rush.
