Start running regularly Running is one of the simplest and most costeffective forms of exercise you can take up if you want to increase your fitness levels in 2020. You can support The Vegan Society through taking part in runs of various lengths this year in cities across the UK. Registering for a place in a run and using it to raise funds for The Vegan Society is a great way to motivate yourself to stick to your new habit.
