Hello lovely running people!

I just got back from my second run with the club at work, and the second time that I've run in a group. I have to say that it is far easier than running alone, and today I got 7 PBs on Strava, including my best 5k at 25:27!!

Happy running weekend! :)

Thank you! The running coach, Matt, put it into perspective when he told me that he runs 10k in 38 minutes!! Yikes!

Ha, I had a quick look on Strava for you, maybe a little post on there to let us know your name if you would like to share your runs.😊x

Do you have to have Premium to join groups?

Thanks, Ted. It was only me and the coach today, We chatted (mostly in an incoherent out of breath manner) about running methods all the way round and it went really quickly :)
