Summary

How does Alcohol affect your running? Here to tell us how is co-founder of One Year No Beer, Podcaster and Author of the Best Seller '28 Day Alcohol Free Challenge' - Ruari Fairbairns.

Ruari is a former oil broker, who listened to the whisper in his mind that said the amount of alcohol he was consuming was holding him back.

In the UK many people still find it difficult to cut back on drinks because of the social aspect. We still live in a society that says "Alcohol is amazing!" "It's so much fun!" "Come to the pub!" despite us knowing the damaging effects on our health.

The reality is, alcohol makes us feel anxious, tired and sluggish and stops us from being the optimal versions of ourselves.

Ruari has the occasional glass, so he's not here to preach "never drink again", but he will leave you with things to think about...especially when it comes to feeling good enough to go for a run.
