One of the best things about running is that it can be done almost anywhere, at any time and all year round. People will naturally have preferences; some will welcome the freshness of winter over the heat of summer and vice versa. With clubs hosting regular runs and races held almost every weekend, there’s no reason not to start as soon as possible. Often a big draw can be setting yourself a goal such as a large organised event - a local 10k run or half-marathon, and all you need to start your training in order to be ready on the big day!
You don’t have to be Lindford Christie to go out jogging. Running is for all ages and all shapes. In the G3 10km run we have runners over 70 years old and there are now many athletic clubs you can join who have running squads for kids as young as 12 years plus.
Preparation is the key to success. Therefore it is important that you buy the right running equipment before you start!
