BACK TO SCHOOL TRAINING
It’s not just the kids who are getting into a routine now schools are back (fingers crossed!). It’s also time for us runners to assess the habits we picked up during lockdown and decide which to polish and which to consign to the dusty filing cabinet marked ‘2020 X-files’. Here are some tips to get you back on track

The more things we have going on in our lives, the more organised we have to be. You might have spent much of the past few months trying to juggle multiple competing priorities: entertaining the kids without leaving home, spending forever in a supermarket queue just to get into the shop, checking up on neighbours and relatives as well as keeping on top of your work. Or maybe you spent a lot of time binging Netflix and counting the days until you could get your roots done.
No matter how much, or how little, time you managed to carve out for your running during lockdown, as we start to emerge from the experience of living through a pandemic and life starts to look a little more recognisable – gyms and swimming pools open, the new school term, a return to the office – it’s important to remember how you fitted everything in, and how you made time to train.
