REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. REAL RUNNERS
MEET CAITLIN 🧡
When Caitlin joined Allstride Collective, she hated running, really struggled with not only doing it but the motivation to go out and run.
💬"I had got a space in the London marathon for 2026 and knew I needed to get training for this"
💬"I had a lack of a running routine, so I wasn’t sticking to set days or a set number of runs in a week"
💬"Around the time I considered joining I was starting to battle with the light, it was getting darker and darker"
🏃 With Allstride Collective 🏃
💬"My first session with ASC was a Women’s Wednesday session, it was especially for the “Lift The Curfew” campaign, when I saw this I thought it was an amazing idea"
💬"I was super nervous, but Darcy told me not to worry, helped me fill out the forms and off we went”
💬"I was instantly made to feel welcome, everyone was super lovely and chatty. I came away from the session on a massive high"
🤔Why join Stride to 5
💬"It boosted my confidence massively"
💬"I completed the London marathon, Allstride was an incredible support system and I couldn’t have done it without them"
💬"I have never been one for making lots of friends, I have always suffered with anxiety and sometimes struggle in social situations, exercise has always been really good for me and my mental health, so the fact the club is welcoming has made it easy"
🧡The Allstride Element🧡
Its about what happens along the way.
New people. New friendships. New confidence. A reason to get out of the house. A reason to move.
And maybe, just maybe, discovering something you didn't know you was capable of.
Our next Stride to 5 is beginning soon....
If you’re thinking:
"I'd love to start running but..."
This is your sign to stop thinking and start.
