YES – I Paul Carruthers have started running. If you told me at Christmas I was going to start running I would have punched you in the face for offending me. But yes, after some consideration I thought “hey I’m arrogant enough to keep going and push myself even if it is just running”.

Conclusion – I was shattered all the way through it thinking why am I doing this. Now I feel elated with that I’ve started running and it was great.

I ran 6 miles in 1hr 5mins at a pace of 10:50 min/mile. How do I know this? I have a fantastic app on my phone which tells me my speed, pace, distance etc. Really handy! I think I’ll be doing a lot more running in the near future.
