Your Pace or Mine: What Running Taught Me About Life, Laughter and Coming Last

From the co-author of the best-selling, Running Made Easy, with a foreword by running legend Kathrine Switzer. Lisa Jackson is a surprising cheerleader for the joys of running. Formerly a committed fitness-phobe, she became a marathon runner at 31, and ran her first 56-mile ultramarathon aged 41. And unlike many runners, Lisa`s not afraid to finish last – in fact, she`s done so in 20 of the 90-plus marathons she`s completed so far.But this isn`t just Lisa`s story, it`s also that of the extraordinary people she`s met along the way – tutu-clad fun-runners, octogenarians, 250-mile ultrarunners – whose tales of loss and laughter are sure to inspire you just as much as they`ve inspired her. This book is for anyone who longs to experience the sense of connection and achievement that running has to offer, whether you`re a nervous novice or a seasoned marathoner dreaming of doing an ultra.An account of the triumph of tenacity over a lack of talent, Your Pace or Mine? is proof that running really isn`t about the time you do, but the time you have!
