10 years ago Simon Johnson decided he’d had enough of going to the gym and went for a run instead. He hasn’t stopped running ever since! Within the first 6 months of running he had entered his first ultra trail event - he was/is hooked.
Running has been a great outlet for Simon’s mental health and introduced him to a bunch for awesome friends.
He also has a visual impairment which makes him legally blind - although he still manages to race around ultra marathon trails :)
I hope you enjoy Simon’s fascinating story as much as I did!
Simon’s Running Tips - Ease into it - don’t go to crazy. Don’t compare yourself to other people - the only person you should be racing against is yourself ( and maybe the person just in front of you ;-) )
