Want to start running, but life keeps getting in the way? You're not alone. Even with the best intentions, many common barriers often stop us in our tracks; ageing, illness, unfitness, busyness, tiredness and anxiety.

Run Through Barriers analyses and challenges these obstacles by using real-life examples of people who have overcome them to transform their health through running. You'll hear from:

• Eileen Noble, one of Britain's oldest female marathoners
• Roger Wright, who has battled obesity to rack up over 66 marathons in 11 years
• 70-year-old ultramarathoner, Ais North, who keeps running despite multiple illnesses
• Delores Durko, a busy mother, on finding time in crammed schedules for fitness
• and many more

These stories are followed by motivating actions and comprehensive week-by-week running plans that will guide you from complete beginner to more advanced plans for the 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances.
