I used to like running. Then I got breast cancer and an instant menopause, and now I hated it. Juliet's brilliant book has helped me understand why. With her explanations and tips, I'm ready to dig out my trainers and hit the road again.

A reliable, caring and informative book to help keep women happier and healthier and of course keep running through menopause and beyond. Juliet is such a great ambassador for running and women's health. An essential book to dip in and out of when you need a reliable source of information.

The Runner's Guide To Menopause has fully prepared me for what's pending and how running can help me feel my best despite the many physical and mental changes peri and menopause can bring. This book really is a must-read, whatever your age. Access to doctor-led expert information when it comes to women's health is sadly rare yet so necessary. Dr Juliet is holding every woman's hand, running side by side with us through this new stage of life thanks to her brilliantly insightful book.
Vicki Psarias-Broadbent, author and TV broadcaster
