My motivation for creating this channel is to share my experiences managing chronic illness via positive attitude and exercise. I will concentrate on the running side of things although I do cycle as well. In fact, it was cycling a recumbent bike that got me through the hard times, but I never went more than 2 miles from the house for the best part of a decade for fear that I would not make it back!

Could barely walk at times, let alone run, even taking a wheelchair on holiday to help me through the days. However, cycling the recumbent helped stop the downward spiral although I was still having limbs go numb from time to time. Took some getting use too! Finally got strong enough to join my local cycling club, but after 6 or 7 years things started to go downhill again.

Tried walking to keep the fitness up. Lots of it during the pandemic! Started jogging the odd 50 metres, or so. And then thought the unthinkable: could I run again? After almost 2 decades out, now giving it a go!
