PERFECT TIMING

The Mental Health issue (RW May) has come at the perfect time for me (and many other runners, I’m sure). The first few months of 2020 have been spent focusing on training for my first London Marathon. Then came COVID-19 and the whole country is in lockdown. Most structure has gone from life; I’ve been laid off from work and it's not safe to visit family. The loss of structure is making life an emotional roller-coaster. A silver lining of this life change is that I’ve had more opportunity to run with my cockapoo, Monty – I’ve even managed to introduce him to your magazine.
