Run Talk Run Sheffield
We aim to increase accessibility to mental health support through running & walking peer support groups. Our support groups exist to make both movement and mental health support less intimidating, and more accessible.
So many of us suffer some kind of 'imposter syndrome' when it comes to our mental health, which can make it tricky to seek support.
You might have a feeling that you need somewhere to talk, but you don’t necessarily want to go to a GP or a therapist.
We think that peer support and community can help, and movement does a rather lovely job at facilitating those conversations for us.
Walk Talk Walk. A weekly walk that facilitates a safe space to meet new people and talk about your mental health.
Run Talk Run. Meet new people and support your peers on a weekly gentle and non-competitive 5km jog.
Run Talk Run is a weekly 5km gentle jog, and Walk Talk Walk is a weekly walk. Before every meet there is a window of time to meet the other participants and say hello to the Leader. It's alright if you're a little anxious and quiet - we all 'get it' in this community. The leader then explains the logistics of the route (reminding the group that the run is gentle and that there is no pressure to "keep up"), and that at the forefront of our meetups is support... this really is a safe space to talk about how you're really doing.
Run Talk Run currently have two groups that meet on a Wednesday evening and most Sunday mornings. The Wednesday run meets at 7.30pm at varying locations across Sheffield including Endcliffe Park, Graves Park, Millhouses Park, Hillsborough Park and occasionally in the city centre.
You can also become a run or walk leader.
