Running is so much more than times and numbers. It connects us across borders and divides, to the ground beneath us and more deeply to ourselves. We do it for better physical and mental well-being, for purpose and opportunity, for feelings of freedom, growth and achievement.

The villages of the #peakdistrict have no flashy theatres, the roads are frequently blocked by sheep, and the phone reception falls over when you go behind t’ big hill. But you can still find silence easily, breathe in air so fresh you can almost touch it, and walk into views

Glowing in the early morning Spring light, this is the hamlet of Miller's Dale, nestled alongside the river and surrounded on all sides by high limestone hills. The water rushed and bubbled through the valley and birds sang out from the trees whose shadows fell on the road, but
