They say you can't outrun a bad diet, but you might find your pot belly disappears towards the end of the marathon training plan - when you're probably running a half-marathon or more every week, the calory deficit is hard to avoid. Good luck!

Thank you so much, and for the lovely donation. And yes we have a foam roller - I do stretches on it daily!

this raised a fair few chuckles from me. and congrats on persisting with such a life-sustaining hobby!

by coincidence, I started running, for more or less the only time in my life since school, in May last year. managed to do 5ks most days for about a month or two, until the heatwave hit and, around the same time, I surprised a dog along my route who surprised me back by biting my leg. that combination rather scuppered the experience for me, at least for the time being. but I was quite pleased with myself that I kept it up for even that long.

lovely piece

I suppose the inevitable response here is 'You should have seen the dog!'
