Take up parkour

until my ankle is completely healed and feels strong.

Free running or parkour (‘the art of moving’) is urban sport at its most unadulterated; few would deny the beauty inherent in its transformation of urban landscapes into arenas for physical expression, or the simplicity of its purpose: to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible. Following a boom in parkour’s popularity in the last few years, Paul Corkery established Urban Freeflow (www.urbanfreeflow.co.uk) to promote safe parkour at a time when copycats were launching themselves off multi-storey car parks with abandon. Corkery runs an Urban Freeflow Academy offering two-hour classes on Monday and Friday nights (£5 per session) at the Moberley Sports and Education Centre (101 Kilburn Lane, W10; 020 7641 4807), and a range of advanced classes (£10 per session) around the city on a first-come, first-served basis.
