Ruth Langsford delighted her fans at the weekend when she shared the newest phase of her journey to improve her fitness – and they were quick to support her. The presenter took to Instagram on Sunday, where she posted a short video that showed her having been for a run.
Having usually been known for her walking (and occasionally skipping) videos, the Loose Women star is now using the NHS Couch to 5K programme to make running part of her routine.

In the clip, Ruth was breathing a little more heavily than usual and wore sunglasses and her pretty blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail. Although she was clearly tired, she also seemed exhilarated – and for good reason.

She went on: "It was good actually, they sneak a little extra five minute in which wasn't as bad as I thought… as always, hard, dragging myself... panting like I'm giving birth, but you know, I did it. Really sweaty though... So there you go, I'm quite pleased with myself."
