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

 'An inspiring book, especially for anyone who’s thinking about running for the first time'.

‘Her book reminds us running isn’t only for the fast’

‘This isn’t just a book, it’s a community between the leaves. A community that spans the marathon cities, taking me on a roller-coaster tour.’

‘The heartiest recommendation I can give for this glorious book is that having read it, I wanted immediately to go for a run, and to laugh while doing so. An absolute tonic – and a very funny read.’

‘A terrific insight into the strange and strangely beautiful mind of a runner. We’ve all been there... although most of us have kept our clothes on!’

‘A glorious celebration of life on two feet and all we can learn from it. I defy anyone to read this without wanting to grab their trainers, dress up as a fairy, and find a friend to laugh away a run with.’

‘Lisa Jackson has been there and got the running T-shirt, having experienced running highs and lows from every viewpoint. This book takes you on a running rollercoaster of Lisa’s experiences and shows you why it’s worth the journey.’

‘A wonderfully written, inspirational and philosophical book, not just about running but also about life and the many challenges it can throw at us. Heartbreakingly sad in some chapters, hilarious in others, it’s a great read. Lisa’s amazing multiple marathon achievements and the life lessons she has gained make for compelling reading.’

‘Jackson reads like a barefoot romp in the park on a rainy day: refreshing, quirky, deeply insightful, and not afraid to get her feet dirty!’

‘Lisa’s book shows how amazing all of us who run really are: how running can take us to so many places inside ourselves – and around the world. And she really does want everyone to go out and experience some of those runs first hand.’
