Collecting the inspiring stories of fifty sportswomen from around the world, Run Like a Girl highlights incredibly talented and committed figures from Ellen McArthur to Arunima Sinha.
All over the world, there are female athletes breaking barriers, pushing limits and achieving amazing things, but where did their journeys begin? And what challenges did they have to overcome to get where they are today?

As well as giving an insight into their influences, motivations and achievements, each story reminds us that failing can teach us just as much as winning; success isn't limited to the sports field; and 'running like a girl' can lead you all the way to the top.
