Don’t Be Silly You Don’t Run
A story of overcoming self-doubt to achieve what first seemed impossible.
By: Steve Denniss
He wasn’t born a runner. In fact, for years the very idea felt ridiculous – until one decision, one awkward first attempt, and one stubborn step at a time began to change everything.
What starts as a private battle with doubt grows into a journey shaped by injury, community, laughter, and the quiet determination to keep showing up. Along the way come unforgettable races, unexpected kindness from strangers, and finish lines that mean far more than a time on the clock.
From early fears of being seen, to the roar of London crowds, this is a story about proving something to yourself – again and again – and discovering that resilience isn’t a dramatic moment, but a thousand small choices.
If you’ve ever thought “I can’t”, this book is a reminder that progress is possible, at any age, and that the finish line is just another beginning.
