Deciding to start running can be a difficult and daunting process! So I have tried to make it a little easier

There is so much information out there, some useful (some not so much) So from one runner to another here are the things you need to know/can expect. As someone who has learned a lot of things the hard way, here is where I will touch base on everything I have learned so you don’t make the same mistakes I did!I will be constantly updating as there is a lot to cover and I have not finished learning yet either, so bookmark the page and check back and stay up to date 🙂
