Rebuilding the #Machine: The new you is already within you

Who would have thought that going from ‘non-runner to runner, to non-runner, to not even believing running could be possible again, to becoming a runner again’ would be so complicated?

This is the story of how Rich Lord fought back from being in a bad place physically, mentally, and emotionally, to turn things around and to bounce back.

The book goes on to talk about how readers can take away learnings from this story and can make changes that they may want to, or they can become the support that someone they know may need from them.

The real story in this book isn’t so much what Rich did, but what we can ALL do from here onwards. It is hoped that you will go away after reading this book feeling that the world can be a better place by how we are with each other.

Smiles Through The Miles

This is the story of Rich’s ten years of running, who he was before he started running, who he was growing up, how he got started in Rugby League before pulling on his running shoes, and the life lessons picked up along the way.

Rich reflects on what he has learnt, how he motivates himself, how the hard times can steel us and prepare us for better times, how planning the heck out of life can be beneficial but also comes with difficulties. These real life examples of how Rich, who never saw himself as ever likely to be a runner went on to run six marathons and over 100 races, let alone an author who would go on to help share his story for others.

This positively uplifting and heartwarming account see Rich open up and learn about himself as well as learn about how to run better – quicker, faster, further. Rich likes to see the positive in everything and he explores the stepping stones involved in how to improve, how to be a better person, and how to live a happier life, true to his values and beliefs.
