Despite running the Brighton Marathon back in 2019, for the past few years, I've struggled to run for longer than around half an hour at a time. Gone are the days when I'd lace up my trainers for at least an hour or more. While I feel stronger and fitter than ever, even a half an hour run can be a hard slog, at times.
I've put this down to a combination of hormones, tiredness, and not being as young as I once was, and, for the most part, I'm okay with it. But when MC UK's senior Health Editor, Ally, asked if I wanted to give a viral running hack a try, I was intrigued. Could a different approach revolutionise my favourite workout and help me regain my running mojo? I was keen to find out.
