👇 Good to see more on running's role within the world of active travel/ transport and the launch of #runsome 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Great article in this month's @runnersworlduk on run-commuting, running's role in active travel and the @RunSomeHQ #RunSome campaign runnersworld.com/uk/training… Was thrilled to chat to @KieranAlger about my research and be a part of this. #ukrunchat #runcommute #running #run

Runners, now is our chance to change how we travel

Now is the perfect time for runners to drive the pace of change.

❌ We disagree. Exercise should never be used a punishment, and food does not have to be earned or justified. This is our view 👉parkrun.me/h1ivt

Some of these changes are huge, but some are so possible and achievable! Washing in cold water, air drying clothes... walking and cycling. This should be normal.

We did this today, hopefully brings a bit of perspective to those determined not to have any. If you agree, share it far and wide 👍

Cyclists aren’t the ‘scourge of the streets’. They are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children all doing their bit to make Britain a healthier, greener and more liveable place. Share this video from @Chris_Boardman to help us make our message loud and clear to @channel5_tv
