I’ve been running to and from work for almost a year now, save for a couple months injury break.
The commute time is the same (about 30 mins) whether I’m running or taking the tube, so I figure I might as well exercise than get sandwiched amongst strangers.
One of the challenges of running home in winter is the sun setting so early. However, I bought a small headlamp to light the path a few steps ahead of me, and it’s amazing the confidence it gives me to know I’m much less likely to roll an ankle.
Without it, I’d be much more likely to make an excuse to not run home. It’s funny how such a small change can get rid of old excuses.
