I’ve just finished reading Alexandra Heminsley’s “Running Like a Girl” which someone recommended on here - really enjoyed it ! Anyone suggest other good running-related books for rest days ?

Whenever I started running, a friend of mine with many marathons under her belt suggested *Run Fat Bitch Run* my husband bought it for me that year in lieu of an Easter egg, it’s a funny read and she takes you through her trials and tribulations as she started out!

I can't recommend any books like that, as enjoy a good Crime book myself.... But I'm loving these titles and am writing them down as I type!

Thank you!

Also a crime fan. Happy to take any recommendations in that area too 😄

Hey Buttercup 👋 hope you’re ok 👌

I can highly recommend:

"Born To Run" by Christopher McDougall

I’d like to thank Irish-John for recommending it a month or so ago. It has got to be the best book I’ve read all year. Incredibly inspiring and an awesome read for all runners.

Thanks everyone. I shall pester the local librarian - though I suspect she’ll blanch at the Ruth Field title !
