The inspiring story of athlete Jo Pavey, the runner and mother who participated in the Rio Olympics in 2016, breaking records. Although she believes she has made more than a few "comebacks," the night of May 10, 2014, was the ultimate challenge. She was a forty-year-old mother of two and had given birth eight months earlier. She trained on a treadmill in a cupboard near the back door and wore a sports jersey older than most of the girls she was competing against. Was she crazy? Jo Pavey was forty years old when she won the gold medal in the 10,000m at the European Championships, which came just a few months after the birth of her second child. The media called her "Supermum," but her story is in many ways similar to that of every mother trying to balance the demands of professional life with family - the sleepless nights, the endless diaper changes, the fun, the laughter, and the turmoil of the school run. The only difference is that Jo is a professional athlete who pushes a stroller during her workouts, runs miles on a treadmill in the cupboard while her daughter sleeps, and trains on the track while her children have a picnic on the grass. The story of This Mum Runs follows Jo's adventurous journey to the top and all the lessons she learned along the way. It is the inspiring yet everyday story of a running mother and a runner who is a mother.
