Running together

2009-01-20-201819-01628956-11

Running  with the Good Gym is usually done on your own, but it seems like there’s a social side of running that we’re missing out on- So we’re looking for ways that groups of runners could do good stuff together.   The sorts of things we’re excited about are things like  Jogging with John (pictured) where the runners stick around to talk about art, science and business after their runs, or even better, Run Dem Crew which is about exchanging knowledge and inspiring younger generations.  Though this is all well and good, how can we expand this idea to give the good activity some kind of physical aspect, could a group of people run somewhere and fix something, then run home again?  Perhaps we could paint a wall, clear some rubble or help someone move into a new home?  If you’ve got ideas about how a group of runners could achieve something good together, and get fit at the same time, we’d love to hear from you.

      Part of the solution has to be to take a holistic and strategic look at an ageing society. For example, Can we find innovative ways of paying for preventative healthcare? Can we incentivise people to stay active for longer? Can we deliver more and better jobs for those close to (and beyond) the State Pension Age? Or could we offer a flexible state pension where individuals could choose to draw down a smaller state pension earlier in retirement in return for a more generous one later on?.
