Elise Downing

Runner, writer, speaker, etc. Author of Coasting and Walk Britain. I really like going outside.

[Elise Downing @elisecdowning]

It’s publication day 🥳😭. Coasting is officially out in the world?!! I’ve wanted to write a book for far longer than I ever wanted to go on an adventure and I can’t believe it’s actually happened. So grateful for all the support so far ❤️.

@pollaidhmartin @AlicePurk Ah thank you so much! Hope the calf heals up.

[Elise Downing @elisecdowning]

Just over a year ago I took a one-way train from Bristol to Dorset to buy a van then spent most of last summer roaming around the UK in that tiny blue metal box. I’ve finally gotten around to writing down everything I’ve learned about van life. 😅

[Elise Downing @elisecdowning]

Three weeks on from @LavaredoUT 80km, I’ve finally written about the whole thing. I’ve tried to take my rose tinted glasses off but all I can really remember are the good bits… But we remembered the hard parts as clearly we’d never run again would we? 😅
