An Eastbourne woman is running in animal shapes to save wildlife
Leanne Pilbeam had to take a break from her London Marathon training due to a back injury, and decided to get creative.
She said, “I could only do short runs and was getting bored running around in circles, so I thought I would do something a bit different.”

So, she went on Google, and mapped out some unusual shapes.
Leanne said, “I thought I would try different wildlife creatures. Some of them you have to really use your imagination.”
So far she has completed the shapes of a bird, stag, lizard, and snail and logged them on tracking app Strava.

Next up this weekend she plans to take on a hedgehog, and says she has the perfect spot for a dog route.
