Anyone interested in a Facebook group?

I just wondered if anyone would be interested in joining a closed Facebook group if I set one up? I love this forum but I thought it might be easier to post photos, let each other know about events and share information. I find it quite time consuming and difficult to follow a post or discussion on here as I don't always have access to a computer and it's not that mobile friendly. Let me know if would be interested - I don't want to be billy no-mates in a group all on my own!

I considered that too so I'm in. Happy to set it up also, but if you want to do so then feel free.

Well, at least there will be two of us! We need a name - any suggestions? I'll set it up later then add you as admin if that's OK?

There already is one - it was set up when this site was having problems last year. It's C25Kers on Facebook. It's a closed group and well managed and is used a lot. If you request to join the admins will sort it for you :-)

FB group is very active with many runners from here on it. What I would ask though is don't forget all the new runners on here who need support and encouragement. I do fall by the wayside now and again but I'm never going to forget all the help I received from this wonderful site so don't stay away for long. Good luck with your running journey.

I totally agree Oldgirl. It's horses for courses really, this site will always be the first place new runners come to but Facebook is easier for other things. I intend to use both.

Well done, I dip in and out of both as often as I can even though I'm not running just now.
