If you'd asked Jessica Ennis-Hill to run a 10km while she was training, she would have given you a firm no, or in her words, "there's absolutely no way". Despite winning four gold medals (one in the Olympics) as a heptathlete, the furthest distance she ran was 800m.
Now, at 40, the former athlete and Vitality ambassador "loves running longer distances" but knows perhaps more than anyone that building up to changing your exercise habits and that finding a new routine is a process. "You've got to have a plan and build up to it," she tells woman&home in an exclusive interview. "It's absolutely achievable."
