GET THE NATION FIT! Remember back in


2010REVIEWED! WE SAID:


September 2010 we asked you to join us in a campaign to Get The Nation Fit? Figures from the Association of Public Health Observatories reveal the UK is the fattest EU member! So, let’s do our bit to get us in shape! Why not find a friend who doesn’t run, and take them running? (As suggested in our December issue by Chris Moon, the disabled ultra runner who ran 1,000 miles across the UK in October). When you get your buddy out, make sure you tell me about it on Twitter (and I’ll print your tweet, see right). Follow me @runningfreemag.co.uk.


Virtual help for next year

Every month I talk to you on Twitter. Follow me @runningfreemag


This month I asked: What’s your favourite


distance and your best race?


“My best race was the 2007 NYC Marathon. Ran with a remarkable young man who is paralysed from the neck down – and a great team” @pob1976, aka Paul O’Brien


“Fave race distance: 5k. Why?: It’s accessible for everyone, it’s “easy” to practice/improve, it’s the distance of a @parkrun” @RossGoodman aka Ross Goodman


“Has to be 10k. Means I’m 10k further away from work! I break it up into two fast 5ks” @jjbowie aka James Bowie


“1500m – it’s fast, it’s exhilarating running flat-out on the track, and it’s over quickly. Perfect” @mstores aka Mike Stores


“Has to be the marathon. The most epic 26.2 miles of your life. No other distance can change your life so


profoundly. Magic” @danman1916 aka Mr Risdon


“My best race was The Cheltenham 10k… I ran a PB of 36 mins!” @danvibrogym aka Dan Fivey


“My best race was the Great Eastern Run on 10/10/10 my 4th half and my brother’s 1st. I got a stonking PB and was


buzzing for weeks!”


@runningmum3boys aka Dawn Parr


“My fave distance is 1500m,because its the distance I’m best at and it’s not too long” @robsterleat aka Robert Leat
