Very funny very honest & very emotional whether you're in serious training or thinking about running for the bus this book will make you want to put on your trainers. Alexandra Heminsley had high hopes: the arse of an athlete the waist of a supermodel the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms & bored of yoga she decided to run. Her first attempt did not end well. Six years later she has run five marathons in two continents. But as her dad says you run with your head as much as with your legs. So while this is a book about running it's not just about running. You could say it's about ambition (yes getting out of bed on a rainy Sunday morning counts) relationships (including talking to the intimidating staff in the trainer shop) as well as your body (your boobs don't have to wobble when you run). But it's also about realizing that you can do more than you ever thought possible. Very funny very honest & very emotional whether you're in serious training or thinking about running for the bus this is a book for anyone who after wine & crisps for supper a few too many times thinks they might.. .just might.. .like to run like a girl. ...

One second in time may separate the great athlete from the merely good. Seb Coe has made every second count. From an early age he has been driven to be the best at everything he does. Since the moment Coe stood alongside a scrubby municipal running track in Sheffield he knew that sport could change his life. It did. Breaking an incredible twelve world records & three of them in just forty-one days Seb became the only athlete to take gold at 1500 metres in two successive Olympic Games (Moscow 1980 & Los Angeles 1984). The same passion galvanised Coe in 2005 when he led Britains bid to bring the Olympic & Paralympic Games to London. He knew that if we won it would regenerate an East London landscape & change the lives of thousands of young people. It has. Born in Hammersmith & coached by his engineer father Coe went from a secondary modern school & Loughborough University to become the fastest middle-distance runner of his generation. His rivalry with Steve Ovett gripped a nation & made Britain feel successful at a time of widespread social discontent. From sport Coe transferred his ideals to politics serving in John Majors Conservative government from 1992 to 1997 & developing sharp elbows to become chief of staff to William Hague leader of the Party from 1997 to 2001 & finally a member of the House of Lords. Running My Life is in turns exhilarating inspiring amusing & extremely moving. Everyone knows where Sebastian Coe ended up. Few people realise how he got there. This is his personal journey. ...
