Liz Yelling, two-time British Olympian and former training partner to Paula Radcliffe `A wonderfully written, inspirational and philosophical book, not just about running but also about life and the many challenges it can throw at us.

Ultrarunner Pam Reed, veteran of over 100 marathons and eighty 100-milers `The often hilarious tale of Lisa, an adorable fruitcake of a runner: she's not fast, but she's fun, and behind the interesting hats and colourful gear is a girl of great determination and grit, who turns up marathon after marathon, and gets them done with a smile!'
