When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I
decided to introduce more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it
can be and to give them the confidence to get out and run.
I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was
annoyed by the attitude of many race organisers. They complain about the
lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not providing
separate changing facilities.
I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All
of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had
really thought about running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of
painful training. They didn't think of chatting and smiling while running in
beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute now they can run for thirty minutes.
They've also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.
I warned to do something for women’s running and I've had so much
pleasure watching their progress - almost as much as they've had themselves.
