About this listen

There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey's brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life.

Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn't a story about how running saved her–she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.

There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won't save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Listened in one go

Allie knows what she’s talking about…. She’s lived it, and she writes about it really well. An adventurer, a survivor, a bad ass woman. Get writing the next one, I’m looking forward to it already.

Finished in a weekend

This is the most honest book I’ve listened too and Allie’s performance really does her words justice. I’m off to start work on my knowing/doing gap.

A relatable listen

A great listen that packs a punch! Relatable and honest….As honest as you can get I believe! Binged in a couple of days. Thought it would be all about running but gave so much more.

Refreshingly Honest

A brilliantly written honest account. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really felt the struggles and so happy that that things are more positive now. Hoping to take some advice and apply it to my life. Thank you for writing it.
