"I’ve mostly stuck with the foods that keep me feeling good, with just a few tweaks to support my training. On a morning, I usually keep it light - rice cakes with honey or a date. I’ll admit, a lot of caffeine also helps me get moving, especially for those early-morning starts.

"I’m currently following a Garmin Coach half marathon plan - it's sad to say, but having an imaginary person in my watch tell me good job after each run is very motivating! Coach Greg has me running 4-5 times a week, slowly building up mileage from around 25km a week."

We have a predominantly female workforce, but we are trained to take calls from male survivors too.

"Right now, my focus is on slowly building mileage up to at least a half marathon by Christmas. My aim is to stay consistency, get my body used to running longer, and not rushing the process (which can definitely be tempting).

Thank you to University of Bradford Union for helping us with organising our Reclaim The Night event!

Victim blaming sounds like:

❌ “Are you sure you’re not provoking him?”
❌ “He’s just being a man.”
❌ “What happens behind closed doors must stay there.”

It silences survivors. It protects perpetrators.
