Run Free!

Ella

I started running two years ago and it's become a big part of my life. Every morning, I run through the park near my house. I love the quiet and the fresh air. I've even joined a local running club. We meet twice a week and sometimes enter races. Although I'm not very quick, I enjoy the challenge. My best friend, who isn't really into sports, has just started running with me at weekends. It's great having company.

Running is my way to relax after a long day at work. I prefer running in the evenings when the streets are less crowded. I usually run on my own, listening to music or an audiobook. Last year, I completed my first half-marathon, which was a big achievement for me. I'm training for a full marathon now. My sister often asks me for running advice, as she's thinking of starting too. I always encourage her.

Nina

I was never keen on exercise until I discovered running. It's perfect for me because I can set my own pace. I usually run short distances around my neighbourhood. Recently, I've been trying to run further little by little. My neighbour, who is an experienced runner, gives me tips. I enjoy the sense of progress. Sometimes, my colleagues join me for a run, which makes it more fun. We motivate each other.
