The inspirational story of athlete Jo Pavey, the runner and mum who
ran at a record-breaking fifth Olympic Games at Rio 2016.
'Come-back races? I've had more than a few, the night of 10 May
2014 was the ultimate long shot. I was a forty-year-old mother of
two who had given birth eight months before. I trained on a
treadmill in a cupboard by the back door and I was wearing a
running vest older than most of the girls I was competing against.
Was I crazy?' Jo Pavey was forty years old when she won the 10,000m
at the European Championships. It was the first gold medal of her
career and, astonishingly, it came within months of having her
second child. The media dubbed her 'Supermum', but Jo's story is in
many ways the same as every mother juggling the demands of working
life with a family - the sleepless nights, the endless nappy
changing, the fun, the laughter and the school-run chaos. The only
difference is that Jo is a full-time athlete pushing a buggy on her
training runs, clocking up miles on the treadmill in a cupboard
while her daughter has her lunchtime nap, and hitting the track
while her children picnic on the grass. Heartwarming and uplifting,
This Mum Runs follows Jo's roundabout journey to the top and all
the lessons she's learnt along the way. It is the inspiring yet
everyday story of a mum that runs and a runner that mums.
