This much I know: Roisin McEttigan, runner

Running makes me feel good. It makes me a nicer person.

I run for at least 30 minutes every day, longer at the weekends. It is not unhealthy or compulsive. I simply know all the benefits of running — physical, mental and emotional. I always come back in through the door full of ideas.

As a child, I found it hard to articulate why I loved running so much. I just felt I needed to burn off loads of energy, but now I realise that I love the sense of freedom that it gives me.
