A message to anyone who needs to hear it…

I couldn’t run 2k without stopping when I started running not that long ago. A 5k was an absolute struggle and a 10k seemed unachievable. But slowly, I improved. Surround yourself with like minded people who will build you up and help you improve. Parkrun is great for this.

Remember too — your pace is your pace. Don’t worry about guys knocking out 5/7/9 minute miles, if your pace is 10 minute miles. That’s your pace.

If you’re getting off the sofa and running a few kms, WELL DONE, KEEP GOING
