Its never too late

Published on 15/06/2009 in Inspiration and Training advice. 0 Comments

Last week a good friend of mine told me he was training for this year’s Great North Run. This September he will be joining over 50000 others in the world’s biggest half-marathon. I asked what had motivated him to take the plunge and sign up. He said that there was no encouragement from family or friends, no charity to raise money for. Instead, he just felt that the “time was right”.

Up to now, he had considered running as something he did to warm up for his main sports, football and squash. And though getting started was an effort to begin with, after a couple of weeks he really began to enjoy it. Running three times a week is now something he looks forward to. At the age of 44 he never thought he would be taking up a new sport. And that’s one of the great things about running. No matter what you age, or ability, its never too late to take it up.

For some great beginner advice about how far, how fast and how much to run when you are getting started click here and here.
