The bumper issue of Women’s Running this January has everything you need to start your running journey or help you get that shiny new PB!
We have an in-depth guide for beginner runners, gently taking you through all you need to feel part of the gang (and you are already btw!). And for those of you a little further down the road, we’ve got FOUR brilliant training plans to help you make the move from 5K to 10K, at whatever pace you want to achieve!
And if that wasn’t enough, we have an exclusive interview with the incomparable Bryony Gordon, who loves nothing more than running in her pants just to show the world that normal bodies have the right take up space in this running community. She talks to us here about her battles with addiction, her mental health, and her love of running. Plus:

• A guide to your fittest ever decade – and yes, that’s your 40s!
