It is 7pm and after a busy day that means one thing: time for my evening run.
I put on the hi-vis, turn on my head torch and set my smartwatch. But before I head out of the door, I have a very important task – a message to my husband.
I tell him the exact route I’ll be running and the time I'm likely to be home. It should not have to be part of a woman’s routine, but this is the grim reality – especially at this time of year.
Verbal abuse, wolf whistles, beeps from cars and inappropriate comments. As a female runner, it almost feels normal.
I have spoken to many who say they regularly experience abuse, especially when the nights draw in.
One of my most daunting experiences was when I was followed by a group of men in a car. One of them wound the window down and shouted. The car then followed me.
I’m just glad it happened close to where I live, as all I wanted to do was get home.
