If You Run, You Are a Runner

​Thinking of trying some summer running?

​A pair of great shoes and some internal motivation is all you need. I suggest you run for 1-2 minutes then walk for 1-2 minutes, thus bringing your heart rate up and down. Mentally it is easier to say "I'm only going to run for a minute", than "I'm going to try and run for 15 minutes". 
Another way to get going is to set yourself a goal, "by the end of November I am going to run round my block without stopping" , or "I will run to that lamp post and walk to the next" and so on.
Listen to your body, if your knee or back hurts, it hurts, so stop, find out why - wrong shoes, injury, flat footed/technique, maybe you need a Podiatrist, a Physio or a new sports bra?
​See you out there!
