'A cracking read' Jojo Moyes
'A generous, joyful book. deeply moving at points, very funny at others. Generally - and genuinely - life-affirming.' The Times Magazine
From the BBC news to the Marathon des Sables, this is the inspiring story of how one of Britain's best-known broadcasters found her feet through running
At the age of 40, BBC broadcaster Sophie Raworth assumed she was too old to start running. She had done no exercise for decades. But after seeing a friend do the London Marathon, Sophie decided to give it a go. Collapsing two miles from the finish line, her first attempt was a disaster. But she picked herself up and kept going on a path that would take her to races all over the world, across the Alps and even to the Sahara Desert for the famous 150-mile Marathon des Sables.
Along the way Sophie discovered great friends, unexpected strength, new confidence, and deep resilience that has helped her deal with some of the toughest challenges at work and in life.
Running on Air will show you that you can do so much more than you ever believed, just by putting one foot in front of the other.

Recenzii
To say this is a book about running does not do it justice; this is about life and all its challenges, and how lacing up a pair of trainers can take you to places you cannot imagine, while giving the strength to deal with challenges far from the marathon trail. A cracking read.
Don't miss out on this fun and inspiring first hand account of how to discover the joy of running at any age. Sophie perfectly conveys all the ecstasy and agonies of her running journey with honesty and wit and shines a light on the wonderful running community and how it can change your life.
Inspiring, sometimes painful, always joyous and where it matters very moving - Sophie's life as a runner will make you want to get your own trainers on.
A marvellous book that reveals not just why Sophie is so compelled to run, but makes sense of why I feel the same way too.
Running on Air is Raworth's love letter to the sport. a generous, joyful book, compelling regardless of whether you run (I don't - haven't got the knees for it - but loved it anyway), deeply moving at points, very funny at others. Generally - and genuinely - life-affirming.
