More and more people are signing up to reap the many benefits of slow running – some speedy sorts are swapping their own PB obsession for a slower pace but perhaps more importantly, others who may have felt excluded from the world of running are feeling empowered to take it up.
Whether you’re a seasoned park-runner, race-lover, or a complete beginner, slow running is accessible and encouraged for everyone. Not only does it have plenty of health benefits, but it also allows you to run at a pace where you can enjoy conversation and take in the world around you.
Slow Running or as it’s sometimes called, back of the pack running (or walking), opens up the world of running: excluding no-one! Inclusivity is key: people of all shapes, sizes and paces can join in and embrace that ‘back of the pack’ mentality. Some define it as running at a pace where it’s still comfortable to talk but the real beauty of the movement is its inability to be precisely defined.
