I loved seeing your interpretations of the street art theme!

The pics captured the brand new Banksy at London Zoo, as well as beach murals, wacky sculptures, neighbourhood tributes and messages of hope.

Joy Runs’ theme for this week is… Together 🤝

This Week’s Joy Run: Running Together

As many as one in four people worldwide – or 1 billion people – are lonely.

Taking the first step to cure this crisis in connection can often be the hardest.

A run shared can be a wonderful tonic to the dizziness that comes with a fast-paced life. It can also be one of the most satisfying runs you can ever do.

Your run with others could be:

  • completing a past Joy Run theme as a pair

  • tagging along to a local run group

  • grabbing a mate for a run or making a new one

  • being a parkrun tourist this Saturday

  • a lunchtime jog with a colleague

  • meeting a pal halfway on your route

  • showering your race volunteers in thanks

  • swapping a trip to the pub with group exercise

You can run whilst having a chat or run side-by-side in silence. Whatever feels right.

Plus, in the spirit of togetherness, Joy Runs will donate £1 to the charity Mind for everybody running this theme and sharing a picture.

I’m excited to see where this week’s Running Together theme takes you!

Hit ‘Reply’ if you’ve any questions at all.

Here’s How It Works

  • A new theme is revealed every Monday

  • You have all week to run it

  • Share a pic and reflections on social, tagging in Joy Runs (Instagram & Facebook)

  • Grow in the company of others
