Parkruns, half marathons, marathons, trail runs, training runs...we do it all, sometimes alone, sometimes together. THIS is what RMA is all about. Connection with others just like [...]
As busy mums we often have to find time to 'fit in' our runs with our busy lifestyle. I know for me, this means often going running when it is pitch black either early in the morning or late at night. This is also the time that I enjoy running the most. Its quiet. Often [...]
