I was completely inspired after reading Bryony Gordon’s, Eat Drink Run. Has anyone else read a book that inspired them to try running?

Not anything that inspired me to try it but I’ve just finished The Pants of Perspective by Anna McNuff. She ran the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand, almost 3000k over 6 months, very inspiring stuff

I was looking for a book recommendation too so will give Eat Drink Run a try. Thanks 😊

Eat drink run, jog on, running for my life, running like a girl. All brilliant. Bryony Gordon’s my absolute favourite though, but all of those helped me keep going ☺️

Born to Run: The Hidden Tribe, the Ultra-Runners, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen..Christopher McDougall..

This did not inspire me to run.. I chose to to do that myself... but it is an amazing read!

Just finished ‘Run Like Crazy’ - Tristan Miller - loved it. Also really enjoyed ‘Running like a girl’ and ‘Your Pace or Mine’.

Since I’ve been hooked on this running lark I’ve found a whole new area for reading too - love it all! Thanks for the tip. Think that’ll be my next one 👍🏻🏃🏽‍♀️😊
