GOOD SPORTS The love of a particular sporting activity brings many people together. FRONTRUNNERS
By Steve Ashfield
When you start playing sport, there are a couple of routes you can go down. Go for personal success or join a sports group. Those hours of training on your own aside from a coach aren’t easy, especially when it all goes wrong. Being part of a group entails training with others, helping your fellow members and, of course, there’s the reaction to how the results go. Here we take look at what it’s like to be part of a local sporting club. The first in our series is Frontrunners

FRONTRUNNERS
Running together: if you’re into running, then James Barron highly recommends joining the Brighton & Hove Frontrunners. He describes them as an “inclusive bunch who want to widen access to the joys of running to all of the local LGBTQ+ community”.
Rather than just going for a run by yourself, being part of a group has both physical and mental benefits. “we pride ourselves on scheduled weekly structured runs, training sessions, and social activities outside of running.” Whether you are a beginner of have lots of experience, you can become a member. Past activities have included taking part in everything from local park runs to the Brighton Half Marathon and the Marathon itself. All activities members can’t wait to do again once the current crisis subsides.
