Synopsis

There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey’s brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life.
Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn’t a story about how running saved her – she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.
There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won’t save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

Hard hitting, but mixed with light hearted comical moments, so interesting and unbelievable at times. Amazing how much you can deal with in private, great messages shared especially at the end and Allie seems like a genuinely lovely person!......more

I wanted to enjoy this so much more than I did. A lot of stop, starting so took a long time to read as it didn’t really keep me wanting to read. Persevered and got there in the end and the overall great, strong message is there and I’m glad Allie was brave enough to write her book to get her message......more

Absolutely amazing book - best one I’ve listening to/read this year. Allie Bailey talks about her mental health, alcoholism and running (the latter was the reason I bought it not the first, or second but I was totally intrigued by all 3). How she used to run ultramarathons after basically having a s......more
