"I Run On" - a short film about the transformative power of running 🎥😍

[Sandraj39]

If you haven't seen this yet, I urge you to spend a few minutes of your time watching it (well, 12 mins 35 sec to be precise!)

It was made in collaboration with The Running Charity, who support the mental wellbeing of 16-25 year olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

It is a moving testament to the restorative power of running and the impact it can have on our mental health. How running can change our lives. It moves me to tears... because I "get it" and I think folk on here will too.

Contributors include Jo Pavey, Sophie Raworth, Paul Sinton-Hewitt (Mr Parkrun!), Bryony Gordon and Vassos Alexander.

Remember some of their words on your next run.🙂

Cracking poem at the end by Molly Case, too.

Great stuff! Thanks so much - good timing too, looks like our 19yr old might just give it a try....x

Good luck with your teenager. My 19 year old son has got in to running since returning from Uni (where he used the gym). He's now running regularly (up to 7.5k) and has bought himself a Garmin! 🙏 😙✔️Job done!🙂
