Body Image

I never started running to have a beach body, my pale Irish skin, freckles and ginger hair don't quite fit the image of beach bod! That said there is nothing I like more than holidays on the beach. I honestly felt this would be a great way to be fit and strong for my wife and kids. A visit to my GP made me realise that losing body fat helped with blood sugar levels, cholesterol, blood pressure and overall stress management. Feeling good in my clothes has been a great additional benefit.

When I came across this infographic from John Berardi it became a great quick reference and visual aid for thinking about body fat. It is certainly a cost I am willing to pay.
