How I did it: I started running a while back using the Couch to 5K running program and Robert Ullrey's podcasts on iTunes. After a couple of stops and starts, I worked up to the point of running 3 miles in one go. I may not be the fastest, but I am able to make the distance!

(That's me in the front in that picture!)

Lessons & tips: Keep at it. If you have an off week, just go out and do it again. If you need to run a shorter distance, that's ok too - at least you are getting out there!

Resources:

• Couch to 5K running program
• Robert Ullrey's podcasts
• Good running shoes
