Writer and runner @elisecdowning ran 5,000 miles self-supported around the British coast over the course of 10 months.
She joins @Datshiane to discuss Walk Britain, her new book exploring 90 car-free adventures, from the Cornish coast to the Isle of Arran ⬇️

ALT The book Coasting by Elise Downing
Elise Downing retweeted
‘Never give up on a bad day’ we loved that advice @elisecdowning
Elise Downing retweeted
I enjoyed listening to @elisecdowning’s book “Coasting” earlier this year.
The story of a very normal and lovely person doing something really quite extraordinary: running around the coast of the UK.
I’d recommend it, if you need to restore your faith in the kindness of people.
Have you ever wondered how much it costs to go on a 10-month long run? I’m discussing exactly that in today’s newsletter, the first part in my ‘how to fund a big adventure’ mini-series.

Coasting, Elise Downing >> amzn.to/3CcwC3v
What I most enjoyed most about this story was the absolute realness of it. It was like I was hearing a friend tell me everything - the highs, lows and in-betweens. Elise definitely made me crave a really (really) big adventure.

Just finished Coasting by @elisecdowning 👟🇬🇧Would highly recommend. Inspiring ⭐️ Shows us what is possible if we try. Loved the ‘you don’t have to be the same person you were 5 mins ago’ message! And fab to see how amazing and supportive the British public are 👏

Dilemma writing this piece for @WorldAthletics
Impossible to reduce this to five but @mphcrawley,
@elisecdowning, @ChrisMcDougall,
@richardaskwith, @stevemagness and
@BStulberg all make the cut.
All excellent reads and in there for different reasons.
