After trying just about everything to fight chronic fatigue, Emil found a physiotherapist who helped him slowly build up a running program. He details how he took 14-15 months to implement a walk-run program and get up to a 5k distance. Although he still was fatigued, running boosts his mood and he had to learn to let his body get used to training.  His advice:<ul><li>Don't run several days in a row</li><li>Running is 'free space' and 'freedom'- enjoy it</li><li>Take it slow and take breaks as needed</li><li>Don't compare yourself to others- there will always be people faster and slower than you</li><li>Run without a watch or activity tracker and go based on feel</li><li>Just go- you will seldom regret going for a run!</li></ul>Follow Emil on Instagram @run.22k.with.me!
