I have never classed myself as a runner—as a personal trainer, I prefer gym-based sessions. However, when I ran 5K every day for a month, I quickly realized why people choose running as their go-to exercise.
Aside from cross country and athletics at school, I only really ever used to run at the gym—opting for sprints, hill climbs and the odd quick 2km treadmill run. I also teach at a studio in central London which incorporates short runs. But, when the COVID lockdown kicked in and gyms closed here in the UK, running soon became my escape.
