'A lovely way to socialise': Meet the Cork running club that wraps up each run with a pastry

We tend to exercise more and push ourselves further when we’re part of a group that makes time to socialise. All the more reason to join the fast-growing Croissant Run Club, which has a 5k limit

Picture the scene: Your running app is sending you passive-aggressive notifications along the lines of, “don’t forget your run today!”

You swipe to clear the notification, feeling a tinge of guilt because you promised yourself that in the new year, you would definitely take up running and stick to it.
