Eat, Drink, Run by Bryony Gordon - Paperback Fitness & Mental Health Memoir - Non Fiction - New

Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781472234049 Publisher: Headline Age Range: Adult Overview Eat, Drink, Run. is Bryony Gordon's candid, funny and deeply human memoir about swapping wine and takeaways for trainers and fresh air. Written in her trademark warm, self-deprecating style, it charts her journey from self-described loafer and drinker to marathon runner, without ever pretending the process was easy, glamorous or without setbacks. It's a book for anyone who has ever felt fitness "wasn't for them" and wondered if change was still possible. About the Book Following her bestselling mental health memoir Mad Girl, Bryony Gordon turns her unflinching honesty toward the world of exercise and wellbeing. She admits from the outset that she was never a natural athlete — happier with a bottle of wine and a cigarette than a pair of trainers — yet somewhere along the way, running became her unlikely lifeline. Eat, Drink, Run. follows her stumbling, hilarious and ultimately triumphant journey through 10Ks, half marathons and the London Marathon itself, all while navigating anxiety, body image struggles and the everyday chaos of modern life. Rather than offering a rigid training plan, Gordon focuses on the emotional and social side of getting active: the friendships made along the way, the small victories that build confidence, and the freeing realisation that you don't need to be "good" at something to benefit from it. Her voice is funny, self-aware and refreshingly free of fitness-industry jargon, making this as much a book about self-acceptance and mental health as it is about physical movement. Readers of memoir, fans of Gordon's previous work, and anyone who has ever quietly wished they could become "a runner" will find plenty to relate to here. It's a book that proves progress rarely looks like perfection — and that showing up, imperfectly, again and again, is often enough. Relatable and funny: Makes fitness feel achievable for total beginners, not just
