A HEAD STA RT

Why EBRC members find the early miles are a tonic for mind, body and soul

‘I get my exercise done before everyone else is up and I get to do it with lovely, positive people. I work from home, which can be a bit lonely, but now, instead of work friends, I have my running friends, whom I can have a laugh with, a bit of a moan to or be an listening ear.

– Sarah Overin

‘It’s reassuring to know that even when you’re feeling your worst, there’ll be someone there you can share a smile with before most other people start the day. I’ve met some of the most inspirational people at 6am in the cold and wet; I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet them without Early Bird.’

– Cal Mills

‘I started a stressful job recently and running each morning puts me in the right frame of mind.’

– Malcolm Peters

‘It’s the best way to start the day, clear my head and get some me time before Mum life starts. My EBRC running buddies are also the best listeners, advice-givers and therapists I have ever met. I wouldn’t be without this group now.’

– Rebecca Matthews
