As a Health Editor and nine-time marathon runner who tests fit kit, workouts, and health trends for a living, it's fair to say that I'm fairly active. Mind you, this wasn't always the case - 18-year-old Ally wouldn't have been seen dead in a pair of running trainers - and, spoiler alert, this also doesn't mean that I have exercise motivation coming out of my ears. That is, until I discovered the five minute rule.
Wondering how I can be a Health Editor and not always look forward to a bit of movement? I'm only human, and while keeping active is very much a part of my life now, I'm just as susceptible as the next person to a snoozed alarm or lie-in after a busy week.
