Smiles Through The Miles

Released – November 2022

My latest book Smiles Through The Miles is available as a paperback for £6.99 and as an e-book for £2.99. 

From the author of How A Fat Sweaty Santa Became A Marathon Runner and Rebuilding The #Machine: The New You Is Already Within You, this new book Smiles Through The Miles  by Rich Lord 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 heart-warming 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.

Rebuilding The Machine: The New You Is Already Within You

Released: November 2021

My second book Rebuilding The #Machine: The New You Is Already Within You is available as a paperback for £5.99 and as an e-book for £1.79.

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 eBook 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 eBook feeling that the world can be a better place by how we are with each other.

My Running Diary

Released: November 2023

Ask most runners what their Personal Best time is and where it was at, and they’ll probably know this. Many people use online tools for keeping track of their runs, but some people love to use a notebook or even a running diary instead or as well.

Runners love stats! We love to keep records of what we have achieved in their running, how our running is going, how far, how fast, what shoes, and all the great data that runners like to collect and talk about.

In 'My Running Diary', you can record each and every run, the date, distance, time, pace, heart rate, run type, and even what running shoes you used, and a handy notes column where you can put your excuses in like (W) for Wet, or (VW) for Very Wet, or how you celebrated afterwards!

This 366 page running diary is just the thing for you to record your runs, your races, make notes, set targets, review progress, and keep it handy to update straight after every training run, club run, parkrun, or race or event.
