Latest blog: Set yourself some goals and get ready for an amazing 2022
Whether it’s signing up for a Couch to 5k programme, joining a RunTogether running group or targeting your first parkrun, goal setting can play a big role in that process.
When you take on a new challenge like running 5k or joining a RunTogether group it pays to understand exactly what goal setting is all about and how it can help you achieve the things you have targeted – be that your first 5k, a personal best in the spring, or finishing that elusive long loop that everyone else seems to be able to complete.
#RunAndTalk applications open throughout January 2022
Our #RunAndTalk programme has been created with the aim of improving mental health through running in England.
Supported by Mind, the mental health charity, we want to get people talking about mental health, sharing their experiences and removing stigma, provide support and guidance to raise awareness of mental health problems and support people experiencing mental health problems to be physically active through running.
RunTogether groups can apply throughout January to join #RunAndTalk and appoint Mental Health Champions to support mental health through running

Verwood Runners - from RunTogether group to England Athletics affiliated running club
England Athletics South West RunTogether Group of the Year award in 2020 Verwood Runners have gone from strength to strength and have since become an England Athletics affiliated club, with over 200 registered members.
Verwood Runners originates from a group previously known as Verwood Running Buddies (VRB) which was formed in 2014. With a growing member base and 2 successful C25k programmes in the Spring and Summer of 2017, it was decided that VRB would change the name of the club to Verwood Runners asnd work towards affiliation.
Our Journey to 2022 campaign celebrates the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this summer.
It will champion athletics and running as the country prepares to host a huge summer of sport.
It will also help shine a spotlight on the people, clubs, groups and communities who keep athletics and running going all year round. Click to find out more.
