Fighting middle age is a space I can use to explore what goes on in my head and body as I appear to race toward 50.
Since passing 45 and realising my body is starting to slow down already, it scared the S***out of me. Covid came and went, somehow I avoided it but that land getting older left me with health anxiety which creeps up on me most days.
Back at the end of 2022, I starting taking running more seriously than ever before even though I’d already ran DOZENS of parkruns and a few half marathons. Now in 2025, I record every run on Strava and “Mapmyrun” and it’s opened my body and mind to an interest I never knew I had.
