Running For My Life: How I Built a Better Me, One Step at a Time

For readers 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.Throughout her life, Rachel Cullen followed a simple yet effective route straight to mental health misery. Suffering from bipolar disorder and depression, but constantly hungry for 'normality' at any price, Rachel settled for failing relationships, the wrong careers and a reliance on alcohol and chocolate to get her through each day.Stuck in an endless cycle of disappointment with her life, and not knowing how to handle the strain of her mental illness, 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. Interspersed with Rachel's real diary entries, from teenage non-runner to London Marathon finisher (months after giving birth), Running For My Life will make you laugh, cry, and question whether you really can outrun your demons.
