It might seem hard to believe now but there was a time – not terribly long ago – when the sight of a group of runners bounding through our streets in cheery unison would have seemed pretty unusual. Not any more, though. Luminous joggers have become quite commonplace, thanks to the proliferation of running clubs, personal trainers and exercise regimes promising to take the lethargic “from couch to 5k” in fairly short order.
As a survivor of two marathons myself, I’m happy to commend such conversions (so long as people make the changes responsibly). There can be a great sense…
