What does the ‘perfect’ runner look like?  I hear this question being discussed every so often in magazines, online forums or occasionally over coffee after our Saturday morning 5km parkrun.  Particularly if you are relatively new to running, you might be interested and might even be in awe of those runners who seem to have the perfect build, legs, speed,or effortless look to them as they glide around the track or along the bike path.   It all adds to the slight insecurities we might have about not being a ‘real runner.’
