What I Learned Running Again After A Year Off

The past year has been a wild ride for Heather—becoming a mum, recovering from injury, and finding her way back to running. It hasn’t been easy, and her goals have changed more times than she can count, but the love for the sport never went away. In this video, she shares the highs, the struggles, and what it really took to make it to the start line of the Bath Half—on Magnus’s first birthday. It’s been a journey of patience, persistence, and learning to appreciate every step.
