GET A FITNESS BUDDY

RUNNING BUDDY

A STUDY last year by Aberdeen University found those who worked out with a companion increased the amount of exercise they did.

Sixty-four per cent of those who worked out with a partner pushed themselves harder than if they kept fit alone.

If you can’t find a friend to run with you, why not hire one? WeRun ( we-run.co.uk) claims to offer the largest team of running coaches in the UK. From £32 per hour.
