Based in the market town of Wisbech, Fenland Running Club pride themselves on their friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The club's aim is to help and encourage each and every person regardless of ability.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- It helps with stress management. Running can control stress and boost the body’s ability to deal with existing mental tension. Exercise also increases concentrations of norepinephrine, a chemical that helps moderate the brain’s response to stress.
- it gives you a calmer state of mind. The chemicals released during and after running can help people experiencing anxiety feel calmer.
- It can boost your Brainpower. Cardiovascular exercise can create new brain cells and improve overall brain performance. A tough run increases levels of a brain-derived protein in the body, believed to help with decision-making, higher thinking and learning.
