About the Book
I want to tell every person who has ever said running isn’t for them . . . that running can be whatever you want it to be.
Relocating to Edinburgh, Ellie immediately laces up her trainers and sets off to the summit of Arthur’s Seat. What starts as a 5K to blow off steam soon transforms into run-adventuring: the idea of filling a pack and taking on iconic trails across the country. With no set time in mind, and no expectations - it is purely about finding joy.
From the West Highland Way to the Swiss Alps, via New York run clubs, running in the dark along Hadrian’s Wall, and running in circles in her first backyard ultra, forming connections and community along the way, Ellie explores what it means to run, and what we can learn from doing it.
What if, instead of PBs, the aim of running was just friendship and fresh air?
