In honor of Global Running Day, we’re highlighting Mary Cain and her memoir This Is Not About Running, a powerful and deeply personal look at life inside elite sport. A running phenomenon at just 12 years old, Cain rose quickly through the ranks before joining the Nike Oregon Project. But behind her success were intense pressures, injuries, and struggles with mental health. As we celebrate running today, her story reminds us that the sport should build people up, not break them down—and challenges us to think differently about how we support young athletes. • • #GlobalRunningDay #sportsmemoir #mentalhealthawareness #bookrecommendations #bookstagram
