Matty setting the pace for our morning run 😮‍💨

While I don't do any long distances these days I still enjoy my 5 & 10K runs with my running companion.

For anyone thinking of taking up running, which is great for your physical and mental well-being, I would highly recommend the NHS Couch to 5K app.
