Running on Air: From BBC Headlines to Life-Changing Finish Lines by Sophie Raworth — the inspiring memoir from the beloved BBC broadcaster about discovering unexpected strength through running.
At the age of 40, Sophie Raworth assumed she was too old to start running. She had done almost no exercise for decades. Then she watched a friend complete the London Marathon and decided to give it a try. Her first attempt ended in collapse two miles from the finish line.
She got up and kept going.
What followed was a remarkable transformation. Sophie went on to complete all the World Marathon Majors, multiple marathons and ultra-marathons, the gruelling Marathon des Sables across the Sahara, and the full length of the Thames Path. Along the way she discovered deep resilience, lasting friendships, new confidence, and a way of navigating life’s toughest challenges — both on the road and in the high-pressure world of news broadcasting.
Warm, honest, and full of heart, Running on Air is far more than a running memoir. It is a joyful and generous story about starting later, pushing beyond what you thought possible, and finding freedom one step at a time.
An Instant Sunday Times bestseller.
