'Honest, moving, heartfelt and ultimately uplifting' - Patrick Barkham, author of The Swimmer and Wild Child
And So I Run is a story about running. Jamie Doward uses running as an escape, as a way to evade life's most painful realities.
As the marathon medals stack up, a new obsession creeps in - beating the clock, needing to run a time, a time that once attained would magically solve all of life's problems. In a world where some self-medicate with alcohol or drugs, Jamie finds his solace in marathon running, each training run, each race, a desperate attempt to outrun depression, shame and a sense of failure.
But And So I Run is more than just a story of a 26.2-mile obsession - it's a celebration of life's absurdities and an uplifting story about how Jamie redefined his relationship with running.
Engaging and relatable, with the marathon at its heart, And So I Run speaks to all runners, offering a raw, witty and human exploration of how we cope, heal and sometimes keep on just putting one foot in front of the other.
