Bloomsbury presents Start Where You Are: The Beginner’s 5k Running Guide for Women, written and read by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys

**This audiobook contains guided strength and conditioning exercises from the author**

A beginner’s guide to running for women. It challenges misconceptions and offers a positive and motivating guide to get you started.

Start Where You Are is a guide for women who are looking to run up to 5k distance. Whether you are at the start of your running journey, or resuming running after a break, Sabrina Pace-Humphreys has all the advice you need to get going.

In 2009 a GP recommended Sabrina try running to manage her post-natal depression. It transformed her life and she hasn’t stopped since. She is now a UK Athletics qualified Leader in Running Fitness, a Coach in Running Fitness and a qualified personal trainer with a passion for helping other women, wherever they are in their running journeys.

Sabrina offers motivational support, technique guidance, practical advice and strength and conditioning exercises to help complement your training. You can also find real-life runner testimonies and valuable tips about how to run during menopause, fuelling and hydration, menstrual cycles, common injuries, how to run safely at night, finding the running community for you – and so much more.

Above all, this book strips back the experience to the fundamentals – instilling freedom and finding joy in movement – making it the perfect starting point for all women, irrespective of age or running experience.©2026 Sabrina Pace-Humphreys (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
