If you asked me about running a month ago I’d probably have given you a wide-eye ‘are you mad?’ kind of stare. Now, I can’t wait to lace up my running shoes on a Monday evening and head outdoors, and I get even more excited for the high feeling I know that’s coming after.
Running has never been a word in my fitness vocabulary and it’s something most weightlifters are allergic too (as we don’t want it to affect our gains). But, with a new challenge to do my first HYROX in October, and 50% of the race involving eight kilometres of running, I really had no choice but to start. But, I wasn’t expecting to actually enjoy it and, within a month, I’ve gone from doing no running at all to being able to run just over eight kilometres in 50 minutes. So how did I do it?
