What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

Trail running. Couldn’t run to the post box along the road three years ago. Was 3 stone heavier and had health complications, which meant I needed to get rid of excess weight for health to be safe. Higher risk womb cancer is not something to mess with.

Never think you can’t do something, believe you can to improve health and fitness. Even being able to encourage people with limited physical ability has been a joy!

A year into it, and I lost the weight, and my love for trail running in the Lake District hills gave me a joy I can’t truly describe. Peace, nature and exercise is what makes me feel alive. I am almost 51, but was overjoyed that I completed an Ultra Marathon in the Lakes hills this year. So my trail running helps me mentally and physically …. Oh and I am discharged from the care of my hospital, as all symptoms etc have gone and my risk lowered.

It’s also a joy encouraging others on their journey and helping them to believe they too can do more than they dared think!
