It can be difficult post-graduation to remain motivated and with the dark nights finding time to run was proving to be difficult. So I decided to join the local running group. Turned up last night (new girl syndrome) and they were all very friendly and encouraging. I joined the slowest group (12 minute miles) and head off feeling anxious. I never thought I'd run 5 miles, and I know I wouldn't have done it on my own, but I'd recommend this as a 'next step' if you're finding the post-grad runs tricky.

Good for you! It sounds like a lovely running club.

Did they get you doing different things or did you to a steady 5 mile run. Pleased to hear that the running club will keep you motivated over the winter months.
That sounds like a cunning plan. Well done. I might investigate something like that. I would like something reasonably flexible because of not being able to commit to regular times. But "food for thought" .

We're invited to go for a few weeks to try it out before committing to it but I am already very impressed. You can run with them every day of the week if you want . They are very welcoming and friendly - we couldn't have asked for more👍🏻
