A book about running. And not running.
Like many modern women, Emma Campbell has spent her whole life ‘running’: to keep up, to hold everything together, ‘running’ because the alternative, slowing down or (god forbid) stopping is actually quite terrifying. It took her third cancer diagnosis to discover the restorative power of slowing down – both in life and in her runs.
In Running, Still, Emma truly learns how taking your time can be life-changing. Amid relationship breakdowns, cancer treatment, raising her four children (including triplets!) and caring for elderly parents, she finds the joy of a soul-boosting, recharging, gentle real-life run. Alongside her own journey Emma draws on the words and wisdom of other women: she shares slow miles with friends – including Bryony Gordon and the late Dame Deborah James – who are running on empty and considers why so many of us don't know how to stop ‘running’ and start truly living.
Written by someone who isn’t particularly bothered about personal bests, runs staggeringly slow marathons and still doesn't know what splits are, this is a story about choosing a different pace. It’s about the elation that running can offer, and a reminder that there’s no rush.
Listeners can also enjoy hearing about Emma’s previous chapter in All That Followed - an unflinchingly honest and humour-filled memoir of survival, resilience, and hope.©2027 Emma Campbell (P)2027 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reviews
Emma’s moving and beautifully written memoir shows us that running isn't about pace or marathons; it’s about reclaiming your joy, your strength and yourself.
For any woman who has ever felt stuck and wondered if a pair of trainers could help find her way back to herself. This is a joyful celebration of slow starts and second chances.
Gloriously relatable, refreshingly kind and full of heart
This beautifully written book speaks directly to the warrior within, a reminder that we are all much stronger than we know and that most of that strength is in the stillness, however we find that. Whether you’re a survivor, a runner or just a human grappling with the messy largeness of their lot, Emma’s wise words will light your inner fire and soothe your frazzled soul.
Emma's story will uplift and inspire you. Her warmth, honesty and vulnerability will warm your heart.
Heart touchingly beautiful, gently inspiring
Vulnerable, reflective and timely. Never has a generation of women wanted to continue running while desperately needing to stay still. In a world of busy, Emma has taken the time to really ponder the important stuff so many of us brush over in the chaos... this book is a beautiful offering to help you reframe, reimagine and make sure you're living the life you deserve and want
