Ruth Langsford has been openly sharing her running journey with her Instagram followers, and revealed on Wednesday that she had taken a break from her 'Couch to 5k' due to a back strain.
Looking lovely in a snake print activewear top, she told fans that she had returned to running, but had to cut her workout short - describing it as an "epic fail" in a short video.
