It would be fair to say that my running has been a bit half hearted this year so far. On Sunday at Burghley, I spotted a couple of ladies in Nettleham Trotters t-shirts and had a chat with them, as Nettleham is only 3 miles from me. I came home, signed up and went out tonight for my first Trot. There must have been a good 30 people in 2 groups (a C25k group and the rest of us). The run was basically round the village as it was dark and the C25k group did part of the route with us. 6.85k so I ran round the car park to make it up to 7k! The group meets on Mondays and Thursdays - Monday is speed, hills or other technique run and Thursday a “chatty” (sorry, does not compute 😂) 1 hour run. As the nights get lighter, they will venture out into the countryside more. This is going to be fun 😃
New Running Club: It would be fair to say that... - Bridge to 10K
New Running Club
Sounds fabulous xx
That sounds just what you need and I love the sound of the chatty runs 😀
That’s excellent Sandie. There is often so much camaraderie in these running groups. We have several different ones here and it’s great to see the support they give to each other at parkrun and other races.
Excellent Sandie, sounds perfect 👍 I bet you’ll be chatting more easily in no time x
Hi Sandie, your running club sounds perfect! I used to do long runs with my husband but for the past few months I’ve been running solo as he has a long term injury. ☹️
I’ve missed his company and lacked motivation. The local running club often run past and look like they are having fun. I haven’t had the confidence to join, but your post has inspired me! 😀Thank you and Goodluck with your running 🏃♀️ club.
That does sound fun Sandie. I like the idea of the mixture of runs the it offers. I bet you’ll enjoy it!
I can’t possibly join a running club - I’m already out choiring on 3 evenings and Mr Cheeky would probably feel abandoned - we’re already ‘ships in the night’! 😅
I missed this! I don't feel that , half-hearted, describes your running this year. You have had some great runs and the run with the others at Burghley sounded pretty amazing to me !

The group sounds wonderful and it sounds as if you are really going to enjoy it too! I do like the idea of the , chatty, run but like you, I wouldn't have a lot to say until after !
Enjoy this new venture
That sounds brilliant! The perfect motivation and it's great that they mix it up too. Enjoy it 👍
That sounds perfect. Enjoy Sandie.
This sounds so great! It might just persuade me to contact my local club!
(But for now, still need to get of the COVID recovery couch, then C25k again, then B210k, and maybe …. just maybe then … might I consider joining the physical running club world 😳😳😳😳😳😅)
Great to read this. Thank you!
Sounds great Sandie ! 👍
Excellent! Enjoy.
Sounds a good way of giving you some focus plus something slightly different to mix up your running. I always notice how quickly a ‘chatty’ parkrun passes. Enjoy.
Sounds like just the job Sandie, enjoy!
Funny enough someone had the Boston Parkrun yesterday mentioned to me about a group that meets a couple of nights aweek to run and although I can't make it every week because of work, I thought about giving it a go as I always run on my own and find pacing myself really difficult, but im going along on Tuesday hopefully to try it! Yours sounds fun, a little too far for me, I'm more Boston/ Coningsby direction so we'll see how I get on 😄🏃♀️
