It was fascinating to see and develop week-to-week,” said Jones. “I enjoyed that and started ticking off the little milestones. It is a brilliant process.”The first run was a five-minute walk, then a 90-second run, and so on. You’re not going straight in and doing it. “Once you’ve got that 5k, it was a sense of achievement and you get that buzz after running.”He took to his new sporting endeavour so well he soon upgraded his…
