\"\"When did you start\/return to running?<\/h4>\n

“I used to go for a run when I was younger but then I would fall out of the habit and stop. I recently started running again encouraged by Sue Charles<\/strong> who regularly does the parkrun in Cardiff<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

What motivates you to keep getting out there?<\/h4>\n

There are many distractions in life but it\u2019s important to make time for exercise. I find running benefits me both physically and mentally. It\u2019s a good way of relieving stress, especially after a busy day in the weather office!\u00a0Edward Brown who is a keen park runner has lost a huge amount of weight. Running has transformed his life. He is a big inspiration for me to keep running and get fitter.<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about running?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s good to get out, go for a run and get some fresh air and exercise. I find the parkrun very sociable and fun. I\u2019ve met some lovely people and we go for a coffee afterwards! It\u2019s a great way to start the weekend!<\/p>\n

What goals have you set yourself this year?<\/h4>\n

To do more parkruns as often as I can. I\u2019ve also signed up to do my first 10K in August. I doubt I will ever run a marathon but maybe a half marathon. It\u2019s good to set yourself a challenge!<\/p>\n

What would you say to someone thinking of trying running for the first time?<\/h4>\n

Start off gently and don\u2019t expect too much of yourself. It can be hard and it\u2019s easy to find an excuse not to go for a run but stick at it and you will soon feel the benefits.<\/p>\n
