Revealed: How Pep Guardiola's 'running like dogs' training sessions saw Man City starlet QUIT football and attend Oxford University instead

"We were running like dogs." This was how a former Man City academy player described the brutal pressure he faced before an injury ended his dream.

Sometimes, it’s about headspace, freedom, and looking after ourselves. Be kind to yourself on your run today. Your pace doesn't define you. #WhyWeRun #MentalHealthAwareness #RunningCommunity #AthleteMentalHealth #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay
