FIT TO RUN?

Running is free, you can do it anywhere, and it burns more calories than any other mainstream exercise.

Regular running can reduce your risk of long-term illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke. It can also boost your mood and keep your weight under control.

Check out this advice to avoid injury or illness and make sure you don’t push yourself beyond your limits. If you have any concerns, consult your doctor before you decide to run.
