This week on the UKRunChat podcast, Michelle chats with author and Runner’s World columnist Lisa Jackson who’s finished over 100 marathons and proudly come last in more than 20 of them. Lisa’s new book, Still Running After All These Tears, is a moving, life-affirming story about finding joy again through running after the toughest years of her life. In this episode, Lisa shares: 🏃‍♀️ How she rediscovered her running mojo after injury and loss ❤️ Why coming last can be just as powerful as coming first 🧠 The mental techniques that helped her heal through grief 👯‍♀️ The importance of laughter, connection and community Her outlook is proof that running isn’t just about speed, it’s about self-kindness, resilience, and showing up when it matters most. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's official - my column in the latest issue of Runner's World announces the launch of my latest running book Still Running After All These Tears (on pre-order now; will be released on 8 Jan) and the fabulous Flamboyance flamingo-and-crow Flanci fitnesswear inspired by it.

I am thrilled to be featured in the latest edition of the online magazine Absolutely Sussex, where I share why I moved to Worthing and how living here helped me write my latest running book, Still Running After All These Tears. #running #StillRunning #run
