Om bidragsyterne
Jamie Doward has worked in the media, both as a journalist and as a storyteller, for three decades. He has published two well-received novels, Toxic and Hostage, and lives in Hove where he can be found running along the sea front with the wind behind him, staggering when it's against him.
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.
