About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Don't Stop Me Now written and read by Vassos Alexander.

This is a celebration of running, and what lots of us think about when we run. Part escape, part self-discovery, part therapy, part fitness. Part simple childlike joy of running when you could be walking.

Vassos Alexander shares the highs and lows of falling in love with running, from his first paltry efforts to reach the end of his street to completing ultra marathons and triathlons in the same weekend.

Each of the 26.2 chapters also features a fascinating insight into how others first started, from Paula Radcliffe to Steve Cram, the Brownlees to Jenson Button, Nicky Campbell to Nell McAndrew.

Funny, inspiring, honest – the perfect read for anyone with well-worn trainers by the door (or thinking of buying a pair...)©2016 Vassos Alexander (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Running & Jogging Sports Funny Physical Exercise Extreme Sports

One of my favourite audio books. Interesting. Motivating. Entertaining.
My only issue was it was sometimes confusing when he swapped stories for different people. But still loved it

Loved it

I’m already getting back into running after having my two children (age 5 and 7) and reaching 47. I’m just about to do my first event in over 12 years - half marathon and have thoroughly enjoyed hearing how Vassos got into and improved his running, but mostly just his love and the absolute joy he gets from it whilst encouraging others to start or do more and pushing his limits. Looking forward to listening to his other books next!

Just great!
