If like me, you have been inspired by the London marathon to start running for the first time or maybe to give running a go again after a break then that is fantastic. I love running, I have run for years and am a big advocate for it and its benefits to mental and physical health. Running can come with some difficulties, nearly half of all runners will pick up an injury through running every year. So, whilst it’s great to get out and go for a run there are some really impor

Marathon training season rolls around every year, and with it comes motivation, new plans and big goals.
