Back to Running: Week 5
So I skipped the update for week four. I’ve now just completed the fifth week of my return to running. I passed the 10K mark in week four and have started to become reasonably comfortable with running five mile with ease. Last week I completed my longest run to date, which was 7.5 miles. That…

Blog: Clear your mind and coping
