I’ve battled with my mental health since my teenage years and I too found running to pull me out of some of my darkest days, giving me purpose and clarity I could only of dreamt of having before I’d tried.

Since then I’ve written an accompanying journal to encourage others to try exercise more for their minds than their bodies. That said, for people who have little or no knowledge of anxiety/depression/PTSD and more, the detailed medical explanations may offer an insight.We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case within thirty (30) days of the day we confirm via e-mail that you are entitled to a refund for defective goods. The book encourages you to see other benefits to running other than weight loss, and it’s something I’ve never considered before.

Bella Mackie isn't your average coach - she's much swearier, and she's never going to give you a nutrition plan or join you on a marathon.

I found the honesty about mental health really refreshing and learned a lot about other forms of anxiety. Through her story she gives the reader tips with a non bullshit approach, without sounding smug or preachy.The author has been through a lot and she never sugar coated things or pretended they were easier than they were. Other cancelled products: If you want to cancel products that are not damaged or incorrectly supplied, then you must inform us of this within seven working days following the date of receipt in accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations or otherwise as soon as possible. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will - she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. Mackie discusses running from different perspectives, including how to run, how it feels, why run, running solo or in groups, how exercise has been gentrified (thereby seeming inaccessible to many) and how to pick yourself up from disappointments.

Quite a relatable read which will hopefully motivate me to create a healthy relationship with running.This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say 'jog on' to your problems and get your life back on track - no matter how small those first steps may be. Now six years later I run 20-25 miles every week without fail and I don’t know where I’d be without it. I did learn a lot about anxiety, and really appreciated the honesty and rawness with which she shared her personal experiences. And the very calm assertion that these things 'don't leave' you 'don't get over them' was well done. I'd recommend you give it a read, whether it's to delve into your own mental health or if you want to try to better understand the struggles of someone you know.
