#17minutesforme

#17MinutesForMe is a pioneering 8-week campaign that encourages participants to take the time for 17 minutes of physical activity 3 times a week during the World Para Athletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships taking place in London in July and August.

The challenge is part of Team Personal Best - one of the projects created under the Inspiration Programme which will harness the impact of hosting the World Para Athletics Championships and IAAF World Championships through a series of grassroots athletics projects.

The purpose of the campaign is to enhance mental wellbeing and encourage ongoing participation in running and athletics. Young, old, active or inactive, this is a challenge that everyone can take part in either individually or with others!

Each week for 8 weeks, a diverse group of leaders will send you a set of flexible, 17-minute activities – right in your inbox. You can choose when and where you do them, and there are accessible, seated versions. And if you miss an activity or three – don't worry! This is all about getting active at your pace, in your time. It's your body, your mind.
