Fit and Jolly!

If you’re struggling, make your mantra ‘Something is better than nothing’, and try these tactics for keeping a routine intact.

The Time I DNF'd At School Sports Day

No race makes me as nervous. No event seems as pressurised. No competition feels like it has the potential to bring the reputation I've built - slowly, block by block - crashing down like a Jenga tower. The dads' race at my children's school sports day fills me with a deep dread.
