    Thanks for that. I think I might wait a couple of weeks until I can run the shorter distance with ease. I could do 2 miles but that seems a little feeble and don't want to be the slowest and struggling. Will give myself an aim to join in June I think

    I am pretty sure that you will find a group of runners of the level that you are at, maybe going out with a more experienced runner who will be offering everyone moral support. It is a fallacy that you have to be good to join a running club. The only criteria is that you are enjoy running and that you want to get as much as you can out of it. And you will see a greater improvement by running with others

  • Oooh lots of new posts. I haven't been for a run since Sunday and it is the oddest feeling. I am soooo tired and energy less and a run might actually be a good thing? Will try and go on Monday night as allegedly I'm joining the running club this week :cool:
