Perseverance pays off. I started running a year ago, went too fast and my ankles gave up after 2 weeks. Took me a year to pluck up the courage to try again. Taking it slow, building up gradually and a pair of good shoes have worked wonders this time.

That's a good time and when you think about it, it really hasn't taken long at all to get to this level

An amazing time at this stage! Well done - have you tried a parkruns yet? They're great and really friendly. See if you have one locally.
