I love running. But it wasn’t always that way. I was the one who skived off PE lessons, who came last in the 800 meters on sports day and who, after leaving school, avoided any form of exercise (other than drunk dancing in sweaty nightclubs) for the next 10 years.
Approaching 30 I decided all this needed to change. I wanted to run. I wanted to be the person I saw on TV running down a beach carefree. It looked so easy. I could do that, right? A trip to the gym made me think otherwise. Running was HARD. Everything hurt. Everything felt wrong. I managed just two minutes of running before I had to stop.
I kept going back to the gym. Kept finding it hard and kept hating running. But many miles down the line running stopped being something difficult and started being enjoyable.
I run a lot. I take my running shoes on holiday with me and, yes, I finally got to be that person running barefoot and carefree down a beach. I run a lot of races, set myself goals and train hard to achieve them. I’ve now run quite a few marathons, the fastest in 3 hours 38 minutes, and an ultramarathon. But I do it all because I love running. Because it’s fun.
