All my life, I’ve had an.. Interesting relationship with food. Not eating this food group or that, trying to achieve a certain look by eating more or less.

As you may have guessed, I recently had a ‘bad run’, and it got me thinking about why we classify our runs as ‘bad’, and what we can do about it. After all, having the ability and desire to run (no matter the pace), is not something that we should take for granted.
