Nowadays we all know someone who has run a half or even full marathon. Quite often it's someone who we never imagined running 13 miles... maybe we didn't even imagine them running one mile. That's the thing about running. It's infectious. And once you've experienced that buzz, you'll be coming back for more, further, faster.
Weight loss, improved cardio health, stress relief and muscle toning. These are just the by-products of the fun and freedom of running.
Like all exercise though, you need to do it right. And there's no better way than joining an Active Nation running group, where you can learn good warm-up and stretching routines, follow pre-planned route and motivate each other when the going gets tough.
