The loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

Well, to be truthful I am not there yet. It is a rather good tune by Iron Maiden. No I am getting towards the end of the couch to 5k series of podcasts by NHS.. It is going pretty well though I find going uphill tires me quickly as does sprinting for the last 60 seconds. I tried doing this last year but didn't complete it so this time I am more committed. If all goes according to plan I will finish the program on Christmas Eve. On from that i will run regularly with the intention of running a 10k race next year.

I do recommend that everyone should do some form of exercise, you can check out the NHS Couch to 5K info here https://www.nhs.uk/LiveWell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx​
