The story so far by Raji. Founder of Midlfie Runners CIC
“I know the power that running can have. It offers numerous mental and physical health benefits that improve the overall quality of life, boost self-confidence, and encourage healthy ageing.
I started running in my forties with no running experience whatsoever. I have seen positive changes in my physical fitness, mental alertness, and creativity and much happier. I became a fitness and nutrition coach and qualified to become a British Athletics running coach because of my passion for running and the benefits it provides.
Running is proven to help people develop self-confidence, boost physical and mental health, and improve wellbeing. According to government data, people aged 45-74 are more likely to be overweight or obese than others. In addition, an inactive lifestyle is linked to higher mortality rates, chronic diseases, and reduced quality of life.
Therefore, I founded Midlife Runners CIC to make a positive difference to people aged 40 to 60 by encouraging them to adopt running as a way of life.”
