Runners have been forced to adapt over the past year: initially, we were limited to just one exercise activity a day; competitions at every level were cancelled; and access to facilities or equipment – even the clubhouse bar – ended. But by our nature we are resilient. Crossing the finish line of any race, from 5K to ultras, takes strength and adaptability, so we were ready to rise to the challenge that Covid presented. Runners have turned around the challenges of the last year, adapted to restrictions, and shown not only that humour can get you through anything, but also how to keep calm and carry on running.

Poole Runners is a large club which had to take its track sessions, event and club meets online in 2020
Paula Barker, Poole Runners, poolerunners.co.uk “Every week since Covid struck, we’ve had a Zoom meeting on Wednesday nights, which is normally our club night.
“We’ve covered different subjects, sharing how we’re running in lockdown, what routes we have run, and giving virtual run results. One week, Joanne Westhead, our welfare officer, spoke to us about mental health, which is so very important at this time.
