Hi. I'm Matt.
Running has always been my nemesis since an early age as I have never been gifted at sports, suffer shin splints and can't control my breathing!
So I've decided to give this a go to see if I can help develop some stamina and improve my general fitness. I'd love to be able to run without getting short of breath and that's where my inspiration to do this comes from!
Reading through some of the really inspirational stories you have posted not only motivated me for day 1 but made sure I powered through it - I'm starting on a treadmill cos I'm not confident running outdoors at the moment.
Physically I'm not out of shape, got a bit of a belly I wouldn't mind seeing the back of, so really looking forward to developing my stamina, and eventually gaining the confidence to run outside!
So yeah, let's do this!
