Apologies, I was referring to staff who may see it as an addition to their workload and, as your article says, some who may not feel it is applicable to their subjects.

Love this. We are just embarking on our oracy journey and it's incredible to see the impact on the children in just a short time. Great to hear testimonies like this to win around sceptics.

💭 The Takeaway 💭
Every run is part of the bigger picture. The tough moments build strength. The good moments fuel belief. And on race day? Every step will be worth it.

💥 The Lows 💥
🔥 Heavy legs, self-doubt creeping in.
🌧️ The weather turning just as motivation wavered.
🙃 The mid-run slump, where every step felt impossible—until I reminded myself why I’m doing this.

✨ The Highs ✨
✅ Finding the rhythm, each step locked into the beat of my breath.
✅ That moment when fatigue whispers, but determination shouts louder.
✅ The final kilometer—legs screaming, mind soaring, knowing I’m one step closer to the Brighton Marathon start line.

I've heard good things but have never taken the plunge... maybe I should branch out!
