Don’t Stop Me Now: 26.2 Tales of a Runner’s Obsession

Vassos Alexander, Radio 2 Breakfast show presenter and sports journalist, shares the highs and lows of falling in love with running, charting his journey from 20-a-day smoker to 20k-a-day runner (and Ironman). This isn't a 'how to' book--it's a celebration of running--and what lots of us think about when we run--part therapy, part escape, part self-discovery, part weight loss, part midlife crisis, part simple child-like joy of running when you could be walking.

A celebratory book--separated into 26.2 chapters, and featuring some great running song chapter titles, each chapter includes an interview with some of the inspirational runners Vassos meets as part of his day job--from Haile Gebrselassie and Mo Farah to Steve Cram, Sally Gunnell and Paula Radcliffe. Find out how they got into running and what running means to them.

Funny, inspiring, honest--the perfect read for anyone in love with running, or thinking about starting!
