- jogging or using Couch to 5K
- taking part in parkrun
- training for track and field
- tracking pace or distance
- supporting races or athletics clubs
Running & Athletics is a useful clue, not a label. It shows what catches your attention, how you approach challenges and what kind of progress feels satisfying. You do not need to be the best at it for it to count. Curiosity, practice and the way you respond when something goes wrong can all be evidence of strengths.
Budi combines this signal with your other interests, experiences and preferences. One activity can lead towards several industries, and the same strength can show up in many different jobs.
- planning progressive training
- monitoring effort, recovery and technique
- staying consistent when motivation changes
- responding safely to setbacks
- setting goals and reviewing evidence
- discipline
- resilience
- self-awareness
- goal-setting
- patience
- mental stamina
- Sports coaching and fitness
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Events and race operations
- Health and wellbeing
- Uniformed services
- Sports science and performance analysis
These are examples rather than a fixed list. Entry routes can include college, sixth form, apprenticeships, volunteering, short courses, self-directed projects and learning on the job.
Easy start: Take a comfortable ten-minute walk or run and notice your effort level.
Medium: Follow a safe short plan with rest and review progress weekly.
Stretch: Join a local session, volunteer at an event or work towards a realistic distance.
When Budi sees running & athletics, it looks for evidence in what you actually did: the decisions you made, skills you practised, problems you solved and ways you helped other people. It uses those signals to suggest role types, industries and realistic next steps. It is here to widen your options, not box you in.
There is no single “right” way to take part. You can adapt the pace, tools, environment, communication method or physical demands. Digital versions, assistive technology, seated approaches, quieter spaces, extra processing time and support from another person can all count. Choose safe, accessible settings and ask schools, clubs, training providers or employers about reasonable adjustments. Watching, planning, researching, organising and supporting others are real forms of participation too.
