Bloomsbury presents Don't Stop Me Now written and read by Vassos Alexander.

This is a celebration of running, and what lots of us think about when we run. Part escape, part self-discovery, part therapy, part fitness. Part simple childlike joy of running when you could be walking.

Vassos Alexander shares the highs and lows of falling in love with running, from his first paltry efforts to reach the end of his street to completing ultra marathons and triathlons in the same weekend.

Each of the 26.2 chapters also features a fascinating insight into how others first started, from Paula Radcliffe to Steve Cram, the Brownlees to Jenson Button, Nicky Campbell to Nell McAndrew.

Funny, inspiring, honest โ€“ the perfect read for anyone with well-worn trainers by the door (or thinking of buying a pair...)

Vassos Alexander is one of the best-known sports presenters in the UK. He is a presenter on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio and has commentated on everything from tennis to diving. Vassos is a seasoned endurance runner with a sub-3hr marathon PB and has completed some of the longest and most gruelling races on earth. He is the author of two bestselling books on running: Donโ€™t Stop Me Now and Running Up That Hill. He lives in London with his wife Caroline and three children.
