When I first started running as an absolute beginner, back in 2008, I didn’t know anyone who ran. The most recent running boom hadn’t quite happened yet, this magazine didn’t exist and social media was in its infancy. As such, there was no way of connecting with other runners other than to bound up to them in the street and say ‘hi’ or to join a club.
