Can’t find the link but it said that only 1% of the uk population had ran a half marathon or longer, will keep trying to find it!

I've heard that statistic. I've also heard another version, that only 1% would even contemplate it. No matter what, we're amazing!

That's a nice bit of motivation 😀 It seems hard to believe when you see the numbers at a race but there again I read that apparently about 40% of people haven't even been for a 10 minute brisk walk in a month!!

"Once you have completed a half marathon, you’ll have been running for around two hours."😂🤣😊

2 hours? I wish!
