I don’t run. I’ve always done sport of some description;
swimming, ballet, gymnastics and exercise classes but the one thing I don’t do is run. I just can’t. Within
seconds, my lungs are burning, my breathing is shallow and my calves tense up.
This year I am trying to push myself like I have never done before in my life –
whether this is by travelling to New York, aiming to gain a distinction in my
Masters’ degree or say yes to opportunities which come my way. So this week I
signed up to the Race for Life. Yes, it may ‘only be 5k,’ but I am terrified!

So today I don’t have any tips, tricks or exercises for
you, like on my usual Fitness Friday. Today I have a question. How do you run?

If you are a runner, how did you start? What are your
tips for a complete newbie?

And most importantly of all, how did you start to enjoy
it?

Oh, and if you’d like to sponsor me, check out my Race for Life Fundraising Page. I’ll be keeping you updated on my progress!
