Charley Hull reshares famous movie meme about preferring running to therapy

Charley Hull took a self-burn with a meme about running instead of therapy. The English golfer shared a clip from the iconic Joker movie staircase scene implying that she chooses running over professional help for mental well-being.

The meme was originally shared by the Instagram page Runur (@runun.run). In the meme, Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is seen joyfully dancing on the stairs with the caption:

"Headed out for a run instead of seeing a therapist."

The 28-year-old is passionate about running. During the PIF Saudi Ladies International, she was asked about her No.1 goal in the ongoing 2025 season. She said:

"I want to try and get my 5K run time down to 20 minutes by the end of the year. It’s around 26 minutes at the moment. I don’t want to just be a golfer. I want to be an athlete. I train because it’s good for my mental health, and it’s good for me. I just enjoy it as a hobby."

Last week, Charley Hull achieved her personal best in a 5km run and 10km run. In her Instagram story, she shared that she ran 5km in 26 minutes and 42 seconds with an average page of 5:21 minutes per kilometre while she finished 10 kilometres in 57:36 minutes with a speed of 5:46 min/km.
