2. Try different running routes. You may well discover a new favourite running track.
3. Get yourself an energetic dog who needs lots of exercise. You'll always have a reason to go for a daily run.
4. Every kilometre you run burns roughly 260 kilojoules. Think of your next 10 kilometre run as two slices of pizza.
5. Did you get the six pack you wanted for Christmas? No, well maybe you should start training now, get your Christmas shopping done before the busy end of the year.
6. Run with music. The right song will help you push your limits.
