Bloomsbury presents Start Where You Are: The Beginner’s 5k Running Guide for Women, written and read by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys

**This audiobook contains guided strength and conditioning exercises from the author**

A beginner’s guide to running for women. It challenges misconceptions and offers a positive and motivating guide to get you started.

Start Where You Are is a guide for women who are looking to run up to 5k distance. Whether you are at the start of your running journey, or resuming running after a break, Sabrina Pace-Humphreys has all the advice you need to get going.

In 2009 a GP recommended Sabrina try running to manage her post-natal depression. It transformed her life and she hasn’t stopped since. She is now a UK Athletics qualified Leader in Running Fitness, a Coach in Running Fitness and a qualified personal trainer with a passion for helping other women, wherever they are in their running journeys.

Above all, this book strips back the experience to the fundamentals – instilling freedom and finding joy in movement – making it the perfect starting point for all women, irrespective of age or running experience.
