Hannah goes... running


Jesmond Dene
When I realised that I wouldn’t have any time to join any of the sports teams here at Newcastle University, I got a little sad. I love sports and I really need some exercise here.

So since joining a sports club is too time-consuming and signing up for a membership at a local gym is too expensive, I decided to just go running every once in a while. At least that’s something.

At first, I went running by myself across the neighbourhood, exploring areas I hadn’t seen yet. But after a few times, I started to meet with other students I got to know here to go running together in nearby parks. That way it’s a lot more interesting and the motivation to get up in the morning and go in the first place is a lot higher, too.

Now I’m running 2-3 times a week and it feels great. And the parks (Heaton Park, Armstrong Park, Jesmond Dene) are really lovely.
