Back in the good old days, before cars, television, hobbies, sport etc. life was really simple.  You woke up, you worked, you ate, you went to bed.

Now, everything is so much more complicated and even in the field of sport there is so much choice out there that it is very hard to know what is right for you.

So - how to choose?

Do you want to be part of a team, or in an individual sport (which can also be part of a team - just to complicate things further!).  Do you want to get fitter as a result of what you do?  Does the sport need to be cheap or can you buy lots of equipment?  Do you like power or endurance sports?  How much time do you have (want to make available) for you activity?

No - don't call me biased, but I think all of these questions lead to just one possible answer.  You should be running!!!!  What?  Me - biased - I can't believe you would say that.

Seriously, running is a great sport which can take in sprinters all the way up to ultra-distance runners.  You do an individual sport, but often as part of a team.  You meet great people and get fit.  You can indulge your competitive spirit against others or even just yourself.

What could be better!

So, grab your trainers and get running - the more you do the more you'll love it.
