It’s not the easiest thing to do and it doesn’t always make you friends, but the people who criticise you for it aren’t worth spending time with anyway. You’ll always feel better about yourself for standing up for what you believe in, rather than pleasing others by changing your opinion. My only advice is to choose you battles….

This was my first official run and I was sure I’d have to walk part of it. I was really nervous but when I got there, there were heaps of people there competing by themselves, and so many people who were doing it just for fun, like me. My plan was to run my own race so that I had a time to beat next year, and I surprised myself by running the whole thing! Don’t let fear hold you back!
