Rachel Ann Cullen Author

Rachel Ann Cullen is an author who spends as much time running in the Yorkshire hills as she does writing. Her first book, Running for My Life, was an intimate account of her physical and mental health struggles and how running proved to be pivotal in her recovery. She was subsequently awarded an honorary degree by the University of Hull for ‘significant personal achievement and contribution to the discussion around mental health’. Rachel’s second book, A Midlife Cyclist, continued her personal story, discussing how other mental health struggles arose when injuries prevented her from running. Rachel is passionate about promoting physical and mental wellbeing, and she has partnered with running brand Saucony to support their Run for Good Health campaign. She hopes that by sharing incredible stories of everyday runners, it will inspire others to find their own strength, hope and resilience through running.
