About Virtual Running
Running is an incredibly effective way to lift your mood, get fitter and make you healthier. Running is one of the cheapest and most effective types of exercise. You can run almost anytime, anywhere, and running requires very little equipment.
Running includes power walking, jogging, running and racing – speed really doesn’t matter. Just find what works for you, by building up slowly. Running can be great fun and a great way to meet new friends. You can run with an old friend, make new friends with a beginners running group, go to your local parkrun, or even head to a running club.
