If you’ve ever used the Nike Running Club app, you’ll know about the guided runs.

A running session on your phone, the likes of Mo Farah and Simone Biles talk you through your session, making it all that easier to finish. 

And now, for the first time ever, an Arab has been featured on the running app and it’s none other than Dubai based runner Manal Rostom.

Manal gives you a little bit of her history during the session, helping you forget you’re actually on a run. 

The session is 25 minutes at an easy pace, so if you’ve never run before, or are struggling with running during Ramadan, Manal’s guide will get you through it.
