Having overcome the the difficulty of begining to run it is easy as a beginner to think it is all plain sailing after that. However, those in the know, know.
It isn't.
So far this aspiring world champion has had to deal with niggly calfs- a really annoying problem that can keep you from running when all you want to do is keep improving, and a niggly knee. The latter only began last week and is a problem that only seems to raise its ugly head after the four mile mark. Again, anyone who has experienced something similar will share, having to stop or thinking it may be more sensible to stop when you have tons of energy left is really annoying. But the legends are true, the hardest thing about running is avoiding injury!
Anyway that gets me to todays point, taking it easy doesn't have to be as dishheartening as it first seems. I realised this after recently running two really light 2km jogs with the 8 year old member of team trail runners nipple.
In the end I suppose thats the point, running doesn't have to be a serious solo persuit, it can also be a fun friendly one.
