Share the runner’s high with ‘This is Running’.

We’re delighted to announce the publication of ‘This is Running’ by Raziq Rauf, @runningsucks101.

Whether you’re starting a couch to 5k or training for your first half marathon, running never goes out of style.

Running coach and journalist Raziq Rauf takes a deep dive into the running boom, examining everything from the most exciting global races, to interviews with influential runners and social groups.

The book’s editor Rebecca Armstrong says “Running is currently experiencing record levels of popularity and with plenty of instructional books and memoirs on the subject but nothing on the overarching culture of running, I’m delighted to see Raziq Rauf tell its story. From notable races to Q&As with influential runners and essays exploring some of the most fascinating directions contemporary running culture is taking today, this book is long-awaited by running fans and I can’t wait for it to find its readers.”

The perfect read for your rest day. Available for preorder now via the link in our bio. Coming April 2026.

Keys to approaching weaving that I share through Wild Weave are an understanding of the possibilities that surround us and taking a slow and informed approach to gathering, processing and storing materials.

Working with the seasons and learning what materials are available at different times of year helps to ground us in natural cycles and integrates creative activity with other parts of our lives.
