Summary
For listeners who enjoyed Alexandra Heminsley's Running Like a Girl and Bryony Gordon's Mad Girl, Running for My Life is a funny, heartfelt and inspirational story of one woman's marathon journey through mental illness.
Suffering from depression but desperate for 'normality', Rachel Cullen found herself in failing relationships, the wrong career and a reliance on alcohol and chocolate to get her through each day. Stuck in an endless cycle of mental misery, she put on a pair of old trainers.
She'd never been able to think of herself as a 'runner' before, and the first time she forced herself out the door, she knew it would hurt. Everywhere. She just didn't realise how much it would heal her, too.

Not as much running as I’d like
It’s definitely not as good as some of the running stories I’ve read, such as Running like a girl. It talks through the authors while life from a young age and I found those chapters uninteresting. I stick with it and the second half is definitely better with more running stories but it’s not one I’ll read again.

Motivating Book for Wanabe Runners
Great audiobook. Many listeners will resonate with various parts of the story.
Funny, witty and inspirational. This has kick started my running.
Rachel makes us believe anything is possible- and there are some hidden gems / tips for us not so experienced runners.
Highly recommended

A honest, open at times hilarious tale of struggle
I loved this, what an inspirational tale, something we can all learn from. The overall message being you can achieve what you set you your mind to, don't be so hard on yourself and find what you love and do it. The author obviously has quite the sense of humour too, I was laughing out loud at times. Extremely well narrated!
