Go the distance
If you’re looking for a reason to get running, then this might inspire you – a new study published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine reports that people who run as little as once a week have a lower risk of early death compared with people who don’t run at all. Personal trainer Rachel Grunwell, who coaches runners, and is also a yoga teacher who specialises in working with athletes, talks about getting started and how to stay motivated.
WHY RUN?
There are so many things to love about running. First up, it’s a free activity and there is no need for an expensive gym membership, which can hurt your bank balance. Who else has an unused gym membership and “sponsored” a gym in the past? Some people have goal regrets – I have gym fee regrets.
Running requires no expensive machines that isolate muscles and force you to whimper. Nope, there’s none of that when you are on the run. There are no mirrors too, thank goodness! There’s no red-faced image to witness
