Publisher's Summary
The ultimate running guide for women brought to life in audio by author Alexandra Heminsley.
Alexandra had high hopes: the arse of an athlete, the waist of a supermodel, the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms and bored of yoga, she decided to run.
Her first attempt did not end well. Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents. But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your legs. So, while this is a book about running, it's not just about running. You could say it's about ambition (yes, getting out of bed on a rainy Sunday morning counts), relationships (including talking to the intimidating staff in the trainer shop), as well as your body (your boobs don't have to wobble when you run). But it's also about realising that you can do more than you ever thought possible.
Very funny, very honest, and very emotional, whether you're in serious training or thinking about running for the bus, this is a book for anyone who after wine and crisps for supper a few too many times thinks they might...just might...like to run like a girl.
Alexandra Heminsley is a freelance journalist and broadcaster and a dedicated runner.

Just want to lace up and head out the door
Loved this audiobook, I’ve run a couple of half marathons but had fallen out of love with running since, after listening to Running Like a Girl I have actually started running again, the way Alexandra describes her races have me goosebumps and made me emotional all over again, there’s just nothing like running a race, the people, the atmosphere, it’s just incredible. Can definitely recommend this book!!

Incredibly believably inspiring
On one hand, what have I got myself into - trying to run…. On the other hand, hooray! the afterglow of self powered propulsion and chaffage only grows with your mileage. I can’t wait!

Fun read
Loves listening to this book - whilst running! Easy to listen to, made me laugh, made me cry, kept my legs going one in front of the other. Will I run a marathon? Who knows, but Alexandra gives you plenty of reasons to really think about it.
