If you were an early bird to Joy Runs, you may remember our nature-inspired running themes ‘Water’, ‘Trees’, ‘Leaves’ & ‘Parks’.

This week, we’re zooming out a little with ‘Nature’ itself.

(thanks to this week’s sponsor, Lumen, please support Joy Runs by paying them a visit via the links below 🙏)

This Week’s Theme: Nature 🌱

Exercising in the great outdoors brings many benefits – including variation, sunshine, stress-release and boosting the immune system.

It also opens up a world of visual stimulation – including different landscapes and terrains, encounters with wildlife and fun new obstacles.

As a result, your body and mind are constantly engaged, making this an excellent form of exercise both physically and mentally. Running in nature is not only about clocking up miles, but also immersing yourself in the beauty and serenity of a season.

Now that the weather has turned a corner, here’s the extra motivation you need to reconnect with nature on a run.

As always, don’t forget to tag Joy Runs in your running pics on Instagram! 📸

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 Instagram, tagging in Joy Runs

• Grow in the company of other runners

Until next time,

Stuart
