Run For Your Life

Run For Your Life by Konrad Marshall is a spirited work of narrative nonfiction that asks a simple question: why do people choose to run, day after day, even when it’s hard? Part memoir, part sports journalism, it’s written with a reporter’s eye and a runner’s growing curiosity, as Marshall commits to running every single day for a year.

Along the way he runs and talks with a fascinating mix of Australians – from Olympians and doctors to household names like Grace Tame, Trent Dalton and Jelena Dokic – gathering stories from marathons, beaches, ovals and country trails. What emerges is an intimate look at motivation, resilience and the surprising relationships that form in motion.

Perfect for readers who love Australian sport writing, running books, and character-driven true stories, as well as anyone chasing consistency or a fresh perspective on mental health and wellbeing.
