Summary
There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey's brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life.
Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn't a story about how running saved her–she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.
There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won't save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A relatable listen
A great listen that packs a punch! Relatable and honest….As honest as you can get I believe! Binged in a couple of days. Thought it would be all about running but gave so much more.

the real talk, no bull**it narrative
my favourite audibook to date, I purchased this as a 'running book' it was not, per-se, but for the better, thoroughly enjoyed it, took me on a journey and highlighted a lot for me, personally, thank you Ally.

Refreshingly Honest
A brilliantly written honest account. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really felt the struggles and so happy that that things are more positive now. Hoping to take some advice and apply it to my life. Thank you for writing it.

Absolutely loved this book.
So many gems to learn from. Top bird! Loved the honest vulnerability and the humour.
Great insight into doing the work after getting sober.

Listened in one go
Allie knows what she’s talking about…. She’s lived it, and she writes about it really well. An adventurer, a survivor, a bad ass woman. Get writing the next one, I’m looking forward to it already.

Finished in a weekend
This is the most honest book I’ve listened too and Allie’s performance really does her words justice. I’m off to start work on my knowing/doing gap.
