| book description |

A book about running. And not running. Like many modern women, Emma Campbell has spent her whole life â€˜runningâ€™: to keep up, to hold everything together, â€˜runningâ€™ because the alternative, slowing down or (god forbid) stopping is actually quite terrifying. It took her third cancer diagnosis to discover the restorative power of slowing down â€“ both in life and in her runs. In Running, Still, Emma truly learns how taking your time can be life-changing. Amid relationship breakdowns, cancer treatment, raising her four children and caring for elderly parents, she finds 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 shares slow miles with friends â€“ including Bryony Gordon and the late Dame Deborah James â€“ who are running on empty and considers why so many of us don't know how to stop â€˜runningâ€™ and start truly living. Written by someone who isnâ€™t particularly bothered about personal bests, runs staggeringly slow marathons and still doesn't know what splits are, this is a story about choosing a different pace. Itâ€™s about the elation that running can offer, and a reminder that thereâ€™s no rush.
