"Essential listening for every runner – it's time to find out, could you too be a Running W*nker?
Alison Stankard AKA Totes Inappropes is a Running W*nker.
But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks, marathons and even ultra marathons. Then one day, whilst looking at her lack of toenails, embarrassingly large collection of training shoes and buffs, it dawned on her: she had become a Running W*nker.
Some people can go out for an occasional run and not obsess over every little detail. They might not think to take a photo of their hill sprints to post on social media or be able to recite their splits from the race that got them a PB to anybody who’ll listen. All impossible if you’re a true Running W*nker.
There are a lot of books about running. Serious books with marathon plans, advice on nutrition and injury prevention. This book isn’t that. It’s a sweary, honest celebration of all the things that Running W*nkers new and old get up to: sh*tting in bushes, going down the stairs on your arse because your legs won’t bend the day after a marathon, lying about how much trainers cost and plotting how to rig the London Marathon ballot.
The question is: are you a Running W*nker too?"

ORIGINAL SCORE MUSIC SOUNDTRACK
“Beautiful, gripping and heartbreaking in places. I loved this novel.” John Niven, author of O Brother
'Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this.' Dave Bayley, Glass Animals
'Dark, beautiful and razor-sharp.' Bexy Cameron, author of Cult Following
“An addictive read with a fiercely feminist core.” Kai Spellmeier, author of Boy Friends
DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist story perfect for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and EUPHORIA about two young women: a teen star from Manchester failed by the music industry which made her an idol and her ambitious manager, forced to make an impossible choice between friendship and power.
It’s a story about friendship and betrayal, a love story and a story about trauma, but more than anything it’s about hope and how dreams can come true in ways we least expect.
Narrated by Milly Oldfield, Mei Mei Macleod and Cherise Silvestri with original music score by S. Michaud, Ellie Mason & Delphine Seddon
