Irrational fears and running!

Shanequa Paris and guests chat irrational fears! Everyone’s got one!

Shanequa Paris and guests chat irrational fears! Everyone’s got one - the weird, random things that make absolutely no sense…but still feel completely real! Maybe you’re terrified of escalators eating your shoelaces or maybe you can’t sleep if a wardrobe door is slightly open. And because no fear should suffer alone, we’re helping you find your fear companions!

Plus it’s a really simple, free exercise, but so many of us feel intimidated by running! Rather miss your bus than do the hasty run to get your catch it? Or is a marathon light work? Whether it’s a jog in the park, a 5K or even a half-marathon, running can be scary! We want to debunk some of the fears around ‘being seen’ when doing something so simple. We're speaking to marathon runner Madhusmita Jena about why we have those fears and how apps like Couch to 5K can make getting started feel a lot less overwhelming.
