Emma Campbell: Running, Still, Gebunden

Klappentext

A book about running. And not running.

Like many modern women, Emma spent her whole life 'running' - to keep up, to hold everything together, 'running' because the alternative, slowing down or (god forbid) stopping is actually quite terrifying. It took her third cancer diagnosis to rediscover the restorative power of slowing down - both in life and in her runs.

In Running, Still, Emma advocates for a new mindful approach that values taking your time, reflection and embracing your unique life rhythm, even in the face of adversity. Amidst relationship breakdowns, cancer treatment and raising her triplets, Emma also discovers the joy of a soul-boosting, recharging, gentle real-life run.

Alongside her own journey Emma draws on the words and wisdom of other women. She speaks to frazzled friends who are running on empty and considers why so many of us don't know how to stop 'running' and start truly living.

This is a book about the physical act of running written by someone who isn't particularly bothered about personal bests, runs staggeringly slow marathons and still doesn't know what splits are. It's also about the joy and elation that running offers, and how slowing down can be life-changing.
