So a little bird told you that running is awesome and you should try it! Well we at Run Wales can confirm that what you’ve heard is indeed true! But where do you start?
Remember when starting any new exercise journey it is important to take things slowly and of course have fun! Be honest with yourself about your current fitness level and pick the best starting point for you; please don’t run before you can walk, quite literally!

Equipment: All you need are comfortable clothes (lightweight layers are best) and a pair of trainers. Don’t forget to tie those laces up properly!
Safety: Always tell someone where you’re going and what you’re doing. Better still, go out with a member of the family, for example your children could cycle or scoot along side you.
