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!

Inspiration!
I never believed I could run, though in my heart I have always wanted to do a marathon. I’ve always looked at runners as a different species of human, capable of things beyond me. I will listen to this book again and again, because it makes me believe I can. Thank you for writing this book Lisa, my training has begun!

The best book
There needs to be more like this to help rethink running, from being about racing to being about being out, alone or with others and enjoying the time, the challenge or the reason.

I really enjoyed this. Down to earth and reinforces that it's ok not to be elite.
