76 m. ago The one change that worked: I loathed all forms of exercise – until I moved to a big city and walked miles

I’d tried running, pilates, swimming and barre, and hated the lot. Then I moved to London and, having no money, I had to start walking to places. Shockingly, I enjoyed itI never understood people who enjoy high-intensity exercise. Wine – yes. Films – obviously. Model trains – whatever floats your boat. But exercise? I didn’t get it. I wept on reformer pilates machines and left circuits classes halfway through under the guise of going to the toilet. I went to the park with the intention of running and instead lay down in the grass with a Cornetto. I pleaded illness – and once, the death of a fictional pet – to waive class cancellation fees.

And with Covid triggering a takeaway boom five years ago, you’d reasonably assume that these apps are raking it in.But while companies such as Deliveroo and Uber have been pumped full of cash by investors, many have been losing money year after year, as they tried to squeeze competition out of the market. Twelve years into its existence, Deliveroo has finally made good on the promise to its investors and turned into a moneymaker, recording a £3m profit.Shaf Hussain is a Deliveroo rider and chair of the couriers branch of the...
