As the weather starts to get warmer and the days become longer Australians will hit the pavement in numbers. In fact, to put things in perspective, 200 million people worldwide have taken up running in the past 5-10 years labelling this decade “the second running boom” (the first being back in 1970-80 when the brand Nike was born). In Australia, 8% of people aged 15 years and over consider themselves “runners”. That’s 1.65 million people!
