Lisa Jackson's twin passions of travel and chat-running have seen this globetrotter visit almost 100 countries and complete over 100 marathons (and proudly come last in 25!). Lisa lives in south London with her husband and co-author Graham Williams, a tame squirrel called Pecan, two over-fed wood pigeons called Fletcher and Sedaris, and four very noisy foxes who visit from next door.

A clinical hypnotherapist and Runner's World columnist, Lisa's the co-author of Travel Seekness and the author of Your Pace or Mine? (#1 in Amazon's Running & Jogging category and winner of 3 Running Awards), Running Made Easy (which sold 110,000+ copies and remained Britain's best-selling beginner's running book for over a decade) and Adore Yourself Slim (Simon & Schuster).

In 2017 Lisa was one of 40 people featured in The Sunday Times's Alternative Rich List aka The Enriched List, as someone whose life has been 'rich in experience, rich in spirit, rich in life', an honour she shared with the likes of David Attenborough and Banksy.

Lisa's writing has been featured in numerous national publications ranging from The Independent and The Guardian to Psychologies magazine, RED, Cosmopolitan, Reveal, Prima, Healthy, Women's Running, Top Santé and Mumsnet.

Lisa loves connecting with runners and travellers from around the world (it's why she became a writer in the first place), so don't be shy and get in touch. You'll track her down here...
