    WINNER: Vikki Orvice Women’s Sports Writing Award, Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards
     
    ‘I rode back down the hill to the athlete’s village. Some of Team Scotland had been watching on the big screen and I arrived to hugs of congratulations. I went inside for a shower and ceremoniously dropped my heart rate monitor into the bin. It was the first day of the rest of my life.’
     
    A little before 1.30 p.m. on Sunday 21 July 2013, Lee Craigie crossed the finish line at Cathkin Braes in the southern outskirts of Glasgow several minutes ahead of her nearest competitor to become the British cross-country mountain bike champion. Lee’s win was the culmination of seven years of training and sacrifice, but it marked the beginning of the end of her competitive career; less than a year later, at the same venue, this time representing her native Scotland at the Commonwealth Games, she crossed the line and quit professional bike racing for good.
     
    Lee Craigie is one of Scotland’s great bike racers, yet she has accomplished much more since retiring. In Other Ways to Win she tells her story of growing up near Glasgow and discovering the freedom of cycling – skipping French lessons and heading off into the Campsie Fells to see just how far she could ride. These teenage adventures established cycling as the thread which would run through her life – not only through her racing life and into a new life of two-wheeled adventure, but also through the positive impact she would have on the lives of others, particularly encouraging other women through her work with the Adventure Syndicate. Written with breathtaking honesty, she recounts epic adventures along the Tour Divide, Silk Road and the Highland Trail 550, and examines themes of friendship, loss, identity and the power of the outdoors – and of course cycling.
     
    Lee's story is a welcome reminder that there is more than one way to win at cycling – and life.

    Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often overlooked when discussing overall well-being. As the world becomes more fast-paced and demanding, people are increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. While therapy and medication are common approaches to managing mental health, an often overlooked yet highly effective method is exercise. Physical activity has been proven to be a powerful tool in improving mental health, relieving stress, and enhancing overall well-being. 
    The connection between physical and mental health has been a topic of research for decades, and studies consistently show that regular exercise positively impacts the brain. When we engage in physical activity, our bodies release endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones, which help to improve our mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. Exercise has also been shown to reduce cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. The combination of these effects makes exercise an excellent natural remedy for mental health struggles. 
    Incorporating exercise into a daily routine provides numerous benefits beyond the body. It not only strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health, but it also helps with mental clarity, boosts self-esteem, and enhances cognitive function. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a high-intensity workout, each form of exercise offers unique benefits that contribute to mental well-being.
