FEARBUSTER! Are you anxious about the social side of returning to group activity? Worried whether you’ll think of the right things to say, or know the right things to do? You’re not alone – a lot of people are apprehensive about returning to socialising. But remember, your jogging group is there for you to enjoy getting active, and that’s all you need to do. It’s not a party, or a competition, and we don’t give prizes for patter. If you can make it along for a jog, your buddies will just be happy to see you again. Your jog leader will remind everyone of social distancing rules, and let you know what to expect from the session. Have a chat with your leader ahead of time if it would help – many of our jog leaders are trained in mental health awareness and they know many joggers will have some anxiety when they return. It’s OK.

Your jogging buddies will just be happy to see you again. 100s of our jog leaders are trained in mental health awareness and will be happy to chat if you’re worried.
