Todays fascinating conversation is with Kathy Mills. She was diagnosed with a thyroid condition 15 years ago, which meant that she put on weight that was impossible to budge! It wasn’t until she resorted to cycling and swimming to recover from tripping at park run 5+ years ago that the weight melted away.. Once the weight was gone her running became an enjoyable activity! In fact Kathy is now running, swimming or cycling every day and competing in triathlons. There seems to be no slowing her down :)
She puts her lack of injuries down, in part to starting regular running a little later in life - i.e. she’s not worn out yet :)
Kathy’s Running Tips - Start small - run and walk until slowly increase the running elements. Consistency is the secret.
