Out in the evening for a quick run, two miles by the seaside. I had to be back quickly to meet a fellow Strider to talk about the Juniors page on the website.
During the day at work, I came upon a NICE briefing for local authorities on how to encourage people to walk and cycle more regularly. I was very alarmed to read some of the statistics about levels of exercise in the population. For example, 'only 6% of men and 4% of women achieved at least 30 minutes of moderate or vigorous activity on at least 5 days'. I wonder what running clubs can do to help change this, and whether local authorities see us as organisations that can help.
