NetRUN
New to TEAM Conference 2026 Join Chris Hatfield for a conversational 5km run around Kenilworth led by Run Your Mind.
Run Your Mind are focused on encouraging people to work on their mind, not just their mileage. With each run having a specific topic and set of questions, to ask one another whilst on a run.
The topic for this run will be self-talk. The conversation you have with yourself, how conscious of it are you and how you ensure it serves rather than sabotages you.
Taking place ahead of the Conference on Thursday 4th June, meet at 15.00, run to start at 15.30.
You can also catch Chris speaking at the Conference on Friday at 11am in Room Hamlet.
