"Stop worrying about what other people think about you. You know, those very first steps you take, as a runner, when you feel stupid, when you feel you have no right to be there, you're maybe feeling...you're in kind of baggy running kit, and overweight, and don't really know what you're doing. And you're so paranoid that people are going to see you. I know women that have gone running in the dark, to start with, because they didn't want anyone else to see," says Dr. Juliet McGrattan, award-winning author and Founder of 261FearlessClubUK.
