Running Shared: From First Paces To Great Races

Being now what her husband calls a sexygenarian, the author's running career began at forty after half a lifetime of being 'non-sporting'. This book was inspired by her achievement in the 2004 Edinburgh Marathon and in it she seeks in turn to inspire and encourage others to run. Through amusing anecdotes and accounts of personal experience she explodes the myth that running is only for those who are dedicated athletes. Would-be runners are offered tips and advice to get them from couch to competition and on to better health, both physical and mental.
