About this listen

Lisa Jackson is a surprising cheerleader for the joys of running. Formerly a committed fitness-phobe, she became a marathon runner at 31 and ran her first 56-mile ultramarathon at the age of 41. Unlike many runners, Lisa's not afraid to finish last. In fact, she's now done so in 25 of the 100-plus marathons she's completed so far.

Your Pace or Mine? isn't just Lisa's story. It's also that of the extraordinary people she’s met along the way - tutu-clad fun runners, octogenarians, and 250-mile ultrarunners - whose tales of loss and laughter are sure to inspire you just as much as they've inspired her.

This audiobook is for anyone who longs to experience the sense of connection and achievement that running has to offer, whether you're a nervous novice or a seasoned marathoner dreaming of doing an ultra.

An account of the triumph of tenacity over a lack of talent, Your Pace or Mine? is proof that running really isn't about the time you do, but the time you have!

It’s entertaining, heartfelt and inspiring, what else could you need in a book? Why do reviews need a minimum of 15 words when 13 will do?

That you don’t have to be fast to be a “real runner”

Last year I ran the London marathon, I was reluctant to call myself a runner as I was slow! None the less I decided I wanted to do more! I read Lisa’s column in Runners World, I am a new subscriber. Having read this book. I will now enter races that i would have avoid in the past due to fear of coming last!

Fabulous, uplifting read
