{"product_id":"9781839812491","title":"And So I Run : 15,000 miles of penitence, one futile quest by Jamie Doward","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308199981429,"sku":"9781839812491","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781839812491.jpg?v=1762806765","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781839812491","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
