Yesterday we commented on how our female membershi Yesterday we commented on how our female membership has grown, and here indeed are just a few of our Fabulous Females, in action at the Alnwick Cross Country race in March 2018. We hope you are all able to get some daily exercise despite the restrictions, it’s good for body and mind (spending too much time here on Insta or Facebook is definitely not!) #nfr #NFRflashback #lgbtrunners #internationalfrontrunners #runningformentalhealth #fabulousfemales #crosscountry #startfitness #NEHL #northumberland #lovetheoutdoors
Today’s #NFRflashback takes us again to 2015 and Today’s #NFRflashback takes us again to 2015 and those days where not only could we meet but we could go to the pub afterwards. Notice how we had a much smaller female presence 5 years ago...now we are near to 50:50 on the binary split, with non-binary members too. How times change. On Wednesday we have our first “virtual” post-run social after what would have been our weekly run...looking forward to seeing our members online. #nfr #internationalfrontrunners #lgbtrunners #runningbuddiesarethebest
Our second virtual S&C session took place today. I Our second virtual S&C session took place today. It’s tremendous to see and chat to our pals when we can’t physically get together - and all endure the same suffering! We even learned how to have co-hosts today so that @garbs06 could deliver a killer finisher... #nfr #internationalfrontrunners #strengthandconditioning #staystrong #zoommeeting

Our runners have been out on their solo runs today Our runners have been out on their solo runs today, doing minimum 5 miles in place of the planned Hartlepool Marina 5 mile race which we had signed up to.

Today’s #NFR flashback is to Maggie Davison’s Today’s #NFR flashback is to Maggie Davison’s wonderful photo from our Pride parkrun takeover in July 2018, with club members and assorted parkrun volunteers joining our rainbow circle. When this is all over there will be a huge parkrun turnout, a mass of colour across our parks. For now, let’s smile at these memories. #smilethroughadversity #lgbtrunners #internationalfrontrunners #nfr #staystrong #rainbowrun

We’ve set up a Club on Strava to share activities, and today we are doing a virtual Grand Prix run in place of Blyth parkrun. #lgbtqrunners #nfrvirtual #internationalfrontrunners #runningformentalhealth #runningnewcastle #runnersofinstagram #letsbeatcoronavirus
