Run Talk Run Stratford upon Avon

Global mental health support community. Gentle weekly 5km run. No one is left behind and you certainly don't need to be an amazing runner.

Friendly space to talk about how you're doing. Share as much or as little as you want.

This week and last week's group photo ❤️

We're definitely making the most of the daylight while we still have it!
Lovely to meet you yesterday, Em 😊

Hope to see lots of you next week, and good luck to everyone running the Stratford 10k or half marathon this weekend!

I've been really rubbish at posting our weekly group photo lately, so here's 4-in-1 from the last four RTRs!

This evening's "run" will be a walk as we're going out for some food instead 😋 (and don't want to show up sweaty) 🥵

Looking forward to seeing those who can make it!

Every once in a while I'm personally reminded of what this weekly running group is all about. I've had a sh**ty few days and was feeling frustrated, triggered and super emotional under my calm-ish exterior. My default behaviour has always been to keep it all inside, but I'm slowly learning that there are other ways, and that sharing this stuff can really help. After a little vent, some lovely chit chat, and a few deeper chats, I felt seen, heard, understood, accepted, supported and loved ❤️

I know others have experienced this too, and while we have plenty of laughs and giggles as a group, we're here to walk (or run) alongside people through the hard stuff too.

Much love,

It was a beautiful evening for a gentle jog / walk round Stratford on Tuesday. Despite it being so hot, we all said how important it was to catch up with each other. There was lots of happy and exciting news from everyone this week! 😃

And it was Rowena's 100th RTR too! 🎉

Hopefully see lots of you for next week's run, which may or may not be a little bit cooler.

Bit late with last week's photo (three of us have been busy Escaping from Meriden!!!)...

Anyway, it's going to be WAY TOO HOT to run tomorrow evening (23rd) 🥵 so we've opted for a gentle stroll to a beer garden instead. 😎

Sign up as usual on Heylo, but don't come in running clothes, and bring some money for drinks instead. 🍻🍹

Stay cool 😎

Missed you all this week (although I've enjoyed a much-needed week off from running this week!)

Big thank you to Tom and Rowena for leading this week. Lovely to see all those smiles 😃

Run Talk Run will be on again next Tuesday (and every Tuesday after) - meeting at 6.15pm in the Lifeways garden for a gentle and chatty 5km jog. Come as you are. No need to wear a fake smile or pretend to be "fine". Whatever kind of day you've had, come and spend some time with friends, and share what you feel comfortable sharing.

Much love,

We weren't sure whether to wear waterproofs or sunglasses... luckily it stayed dry throughout last night's run, and the sun came out periodically ☀️ 😎

A big welcome to Laura and Rob who came along for the first time yesterday. We hope you enjoyed it 😊

Also great to see lots of you who haven't been able to come for a while ♥️

Lots of running events happening this month, so best of luck to everyone taking part in something over the coming weeks.

Same time, same place next week!
(6.15pm, back garden at Lifeways - message for details)

After a frustrating day, a very relaxed run and catch up with these lovely people was the perfect antidote!

I've really been struggling with running motivation this year. I used to love solo running, but this year's training block has been the hardest ever. Thank goodness for Tuesday evenings, where I get to run with some of the loveliest people while chatting about this, that and everything. Sometimes we get so engrossed in our conversations we even forget to run 😂

For anyone who would like to join our weekly Run Talk Run group in Stratford, we meet on Tuesday evenings at Lifeways Therapy Centre. Sign up for free on Heylo app or message for details.
With an emphasis on social connection for mental health, there's no pressure to run fast. It's a chatty, inclusive jog with some intermittent walking so everyone can keep up.

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend everyone, and stay cool 😎

I don't know what was happening in these photos, and I haven't asked (yet). All I can say is it looks like Run Leader Tom is having a lot of fun lying on the grass!

Missed you all yesterday, but my legs appreciated a few extra days rest after the Tempo Trail events this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing lots of you next week - same time, same place (6.15pm in the back garden at Lifeways Therapy Centre). Sign up for free on Heylo (link in bio).

A little group of five for last night's RTR. So lovely to catch up with you all!

It's a big weekend coming up, with Goi running the London Marathon, and several of the group running the Shakespeare half. Good luck to all of you, and most importantly... ENJOY!

Also wanted to say a big well done to Megan for taking part in her first triathlon last weekend. My swimming abilities are somewhere in line with doggy paddle so I am in awe of anyone attempting any kind of triathlon event! Amazing achievement Megan!

Have a lovely week everyone, and enjoy the sunshine 🌞 😎
