'I love Allie Bailey – she has the unique ability to make you feel like anything is possible when it comes to running.' – Bryony Gordon 31 Days follows up on ultrarunner Allie Bailey's searingly honest autobiography There is No Wall. It takes the final chapter of that book which was the self-help rant you didn't think you were buying and supercharges it, creating something relatable and tangible that you can actually take into your day-to-day life and make a lasting difference. While There is No Wall clearly said running won't save you, perhaps this book will, with its no-nonsense approach to mindset mentoring, and tools and exercises that enable you to do the work and create incredible results. Whatever it is you're struggling with – running, career, relationship – Allie draws on her lived experience as an award-winning coach, runner, depressive and recovering alcoholic, to show you how you can change things in yourself that you didn't think it was possible to change. And not just for one training block, one race or for a few weeks, but for the rest of your life. Split into thirty-one easy-to-digest chapters – one a day – it is a handbook, a companion on a journey with no end. But be warned, this book contains no quick fixes – it is down to you to do the work. It's never too late to change, you're not 'just the way you are', and it's never too late to tell that doubting voice you have lived with for decades to kindly go and do one. Are you ready to begin?

50th Anniversary Edition Everest – the highest peak in the world, the ultimate challenge to a mountaineer's skill and endurance. It had been climbed before, but never like this. Chris Bonington and his team had ambitions to climb it – the hard way. Yet before Bonington and his team set out in August 1975, even their well-wishers gave them only a fifty–fifty chance of success. The South West Face of Everest had already defeated five expeditions, including one led by Bonington himself. Everest the Hard Way is an exhilarating story of courage, endurance and teamwork. Bonington's narrative celebrates the big moments and recreates the excitement and danger of the climb with vivid immediacy. He shares the logistical problems involved in keeping a large expedition moving, and the very real psychological ones of balancing and pairing lead climbers and giving each a chance to make the route on the face. He describes the constant avalanche threat which made the Western Cwm more dangerous than the ever-treacherous Ice Fall, and explains how lowering the sites of camps 4 and 5 solved a supply problem and kept the upward momentum for the attack on the notorious thousand-foot-tall Rock Band at 27,000 feet which had barred the way to the summit for all previous attempts. Drawing upon his experiences and the first-hand accounts and diaries of his fellow climbers, Bonington gives us the first-time jitters and unexpected emergencies, the pressures of balancing egos and skills, the meticulous planning, and the undiluted joy of mastering a seemingly impossible climb which would see Britons stand on the summit of the world for the first time. It is an immensely absorbing narrative, stunningly augmented with photographs and maps, with eleven appendices on everything from communications and equipment to food and medicine. How Bonington's team climbed on Everest in 1975 bears no relation to how Everest is climbed fifty years on, with endless resources and helicopter support. It was much riskier in 1975. Weather forecasts were threadbare and, although equipment was improving, it was much more basic than today, so the risk of frostbite was much greater for mountaineers in the 1970s. These climbers, the best of their generation, were leading hard new ground in the only style which gave them a meaningful chance of success. Chris Bonington's Everest the Hard Way is a beautiful, fascinating and tragic story of their legendary achievement.

Swimming with Strangers is the journey that began when Lindsey Cole stopped asking Where should I live? and started asking Who wants to go for a swim? Lindsey had spent years chasing adventures. She'd walked across Australia, cycled to the South Africa World Cup and swum the River Thames in a mermaid tail. But when she finally felt ready to settle down, she realised she had no idea where she belonged. As her last single friend got engaged, Lindsey felt lost and left behind. Then her Thames swim went viral after she rescued a drowning cow, and messages began arriving from strangers inviting her for swims and places to stay. Perhaps if she cycled to the Scottish Winter Swimming Championships, staying with swimmers along the way, she might discover somewhere that could feel like home? One invitation became another, and soon Lindsey was cycling thousands of miles across Britain and Ireland, from the most northern beach of Shetland to the Isles of Scilly, swimming in rivers, lochs and seas with people she'd never met, discovering hidden corners of her own country and an extraordinary community stitched together by cold water. It was only meant to take two weeks, but for six months, wherever an invitation came from, Lindsey went. Warm, joyful and uplifting, Swimming with Strangers is a celebration of wild swimming, ordinary kindness and the remarkable people who make Britain's cold water feel like home.

And So I Run is a story about running. Jamie Doward uses running as an escape, as a way to evade life's most painful realities. As the marathon medals stack up, a new obsession creeps in – beating the clock, needing to run a time, a time that once attained would magically solve all of life's problems. In a world where some self-medicate with alcohol or drugs, Jamie finds his solace in marathon running, each training run, each race, a desperate attempt to outrun depression, shame and a sense of failure. But And So I Run is more than just a story of a 26.2-mile obsession – it's a celebration of life's absurdities and an uplifting story about how Jamie redefined his relationship with running. Engaging and relatable, with the marathon at its heart, And So I Run speaks to all runners, offering a raw, witty and human exploration of how we cope, heal and sometimes keep on just putting one foot in front of the other.

'There is something very special about finding a spectacular objective, looking forward to it for a long time and then achieving exactly what one has set out to do.' Newly retired and immersed in the logistical and bureaucratic maze of planning an expedition to Chombu – an unclimbed Himalayan peak in the Indian state of Sikkim – Mick Fowler's life is turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis. In Eternal Alpinist, his fourth volume of climbing memoirs following Vertical Pleasure, On Thin Ice and No Easy Way, Mick describes – with his trademark dry wit – his determined and at times frustrating attempts to regain 'mountain fitness' and return to the places he loves most. Reaching Chombu with his climbing partner Victor Saunders becomes a constant focus during treatment and recovery. Known for seeking out mountaineering challenges that are remote, eye catching and unclimbed, Mick continues to pursue objectives far from the ordinary. Along with Chombu, he takes us to sea stacks in County Kerry, Spitzkoppe in Namibia, Yawash Sar in Pakistan and Patkhor in Tajikistan. Follow Mick, one of mountaineering's most engaging storytellers, as he adapts to new limitations while continuing to pursue the challenges and adventures that have shaped his life.

'We don't stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.' Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or even pause the decline, master our midlife and use experience as a superpower and become an ageless ace? In Run Forever, record-breaking GB ultrarunner Damian Hall, fifty, examines the reasons why our strength and speed might deteriorate, yet how it isn't certain if we choose to do something about it. In running, like other sports, there have been phenomenal performances from masters athletes, and while ageing is unavoidable, how we age isn't. Becoming an ageless ace has potentially extraordinary healthspan and longevity benefits away from running. Featuring chapters on speed, strength, mindset, sleep and nutrition, Hall draws on the knowledge of experts and shares the stories of other runners – including five-time Olympian and European 10,000 metres champion Jo Pavey, and record-breaking ultrarunner Nicky Spinks – to provide advice for how we can keep running strong and enjoying it for as long as possible. World-renowned sports dietician, author and ultrarunner Renee McGregor explains how ageing affects female runners, especially around perimenopause and menopause, and leading strength and conditioning coach Pete Stables provides knowledge and exercises for the masters athlete. Ageing is inevitable. Slowing down is optional. Run Forever gives you the tools to keep moving – stronger, smarter, longer.

Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist. Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms. To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes. In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience. Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.

Eat to Climb by Mina Leslie-Wujastyk is a comprehensive guide to nutrition for climbers. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this book will help you cut through the noise of nutrition fads and make informed, confident decisions about fuelling your body. The book is split into two sections – principles and methods. Principles explores the foundations of nutrition: energy intake, macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration and supplements. You'll gain a clear understanding of how protein, fat and carbohydrates support training, performance and recovery along with insight into key vitamins and minerals, fluid intake requirements and ergogenic aids. The methods section shows you how to apply these principles in real life, with a focus on flexibility and autonomy. Specific chapters look at crag nutrition, injury recovery, weight loss, intuitive eating and the specific needs of female climbers. Throughout, you'll find powerful insights from top climbers. From Shauna Coxsey's honest account of her struggles with food as a young athlete, to Molly Thompson-Smith's diligent approach to nutrition when injured, and Billy Ridal's tactics for eating when he freed the Nose on El Cap, their stories bring the science to life. Today's climbers increasingly recognise that long-term performance isn't built on calorie restriction or the chronic search for lightness. And as a community we can all be healthier, stronger and get more from our climbing as we learn to eat to climb.
