So a little context on me. I have been running on and off for the last decade. Being part of competitive basketball teams as well as very into my Parkruns; I’ve always made sure to have somewhat of a base level of fitness.

It is a saying that has been around for many years and everyone knows it even if no one really knows where it came from.
