About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Running: Cheaper Than Therapy by Chas Newkey-Burden, read by Elliot Chapman.

A witty and expertly compiled compendium of running wisdom and humour.

From a short jog that lifts your mood to the closing stages of a marathon when you feel physically exhausted but emotionally invincible all at once, running delivers every time.

Running: Cheaper Than Therapy is a celebration of the pastime that always makes you feel better, covering every aspect of running life from jogging etiquette and the things we both love and hate about it, through to the weirdest and most wonderful marathons around the world. Also included are the funniest spectator signs ever, cool advice that could improve your PB and brilliantly insightful running philosophies.

Complete with guest contributions from Parkrun founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt, political strategist Alastair Campbell, Olympian Liz Yelling and comedian David Baddiel, this brilliantly knowing compendium will be appreciated by joggers, triathletes and runners who know the joy of putting on a pair of trainers and getting out there.©2021 Chas Newkey-Burden (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Running & Jogging Track & Field Comedy Sports Witty Funny

As a new runner, I found myself searching for a lighthearted something to listen to as I ran.

This was it, constantly made me smile through my runs.

I listened to this on my daily morning run with the dogs. It is both entertaining and interesting. I found myself laughing in agreement a lot and nodding my head. Lots of fascinating facts and figures, many I knew but I also learned some new things. Well put together with some famous names giving their thoughts too. Sorry it is finished as I could happily have listened to more. I have now also downloaded Chas's other book to listen to when running. I thought the narrator was excellent.
