Running book - the best

If you like reading running books but want something not too technical but an adventure try

'Just a little run around the world' by Rosie Swale Pope I can highly recommend it, its kept me happy while on the injury bench. Sadly I couldn't put it down so it only lasted a couple of days ;)

Ta for the tip OG! I like a running book but some of them read like a shopping list, a boring one at that, so this sounds like a proper read

I'll go and look on Kindle

Thanks. Hope you're feeling ok!

Thanks for that OG, had a quick look on Kindle and liked the look of it. Got some holiday coming so I might have a chance to do a little reading, for a change.

This lady is an inspiration, she is so genuinely lovely. I won tickets to a show & met her & her "vehicle" at a talk she was giving in Derbyshire. Then I was out in my car some months later, about to head down a 1:10 hill at the Zoo, Bedfordshire, so amazed to see Rosie had just ran up said hill! Fantastic lady.

I love adventure books usually so can recommend some if you'd like?
