Frequently Asked Questions

The Mood Booster is a community built around finding joy in the everyday. What began as the Mood Booster Run Club has grown into a podcast, workshops, and a wider community organisation, all built on psychology tools, self-understanding, and connection.

We focus on how you feel, not on ticking boxes. Every part of The Mood Booster, from the run club to the podcast to the workshops, is built around inclusion, honesty, and finding joy in small, everyday wins.

Every Monday we run around Hyde Park. We meet at The Carpenter’s Arms, W1H 7NE for 6:15PM, then wander over to start our run from Speaker’s Corner at 6:30PM.

We pride ourselves on being a pace-inclusive, non-performance-focused group. As a rough guide, we run 5K in ~35–40 minutes, however we do not focus on this time too much. We run as one group and our main priority is ensuring that each and every one of our runners is comfortable and included — and we mean it. This means we can and do take walk breaks whenever needed, or slow the group down where required. We don’t always take breaks, but this is a key component we encourage, meaning that all runners can take part.

We welcome a wide range of runners. If you’re running your first 5K, or coming back after time off, Mondays are a genuinely welcoming place to start — you’ll be looked after and never left behind. More experienced runners can also make the most of Mondays, using it for a rest or recovery run — it’s a great opportunity to chat and catch up!

Yes, we leave our bags in a secure room at The Carpenter’s Arms pub before we head to Hyde Park. You can also get changed here too.

We head back to The Carpenter’s where many of us stay for refreshments and a post-run social.
