In April 2016, at age 47, a friend persuaded me to do a 5K Muddy Run for Cancer Research. I hadn't run for over 30 years and, although I love a challenge, this petrified me! A fitness instructor friend offered to give me a few training sessions before the event & this at least gave me the confidence to have a go. I found that I absolutely loved it even 'though I didn't manage to run the full 5K. I wanted to continue but knew I wouldn't go running alone so in June 2016 I founded Running Fit West Yorkshire as a Facebook Page. We now have 4 free weekly meets attracting between 20-40 different people regularly. We also now have Walking Fit, Family Fit & Buggy Fit as well as Settee To 3K Training Courses.
