Dad-of-two Ryan said: "I've seen a massive improvement across the board since taking up running.
"Not only have I lost two stone in weight, but I've also undergone a complete lifestyle change.
"I sit down a lot of the time for work - either driving or in the office - so it was essential that I got up and out more and did something to get active.

"Running has had such a positive effect on me - I wouldn't be where I am now without it."
