Running groups

[sunshinefish]

Morning all, I just found this link to find running groups in your area from the "This girl can" website. Don't let that put off the males reading this, I think it lists any running group near you that it can find!

Going to build it in to my plans for when the lighter nights reappear!

Sounds like a great plan

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Always good to have a plan! This is a pretty long term one for me too, shows I have dedication (at the minute!)

Brilliant sunshinefish, just found a group right on my doorstep that I never knew existed. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to Jag1jacq]

Yay! You're welcome! I found one too so I got pretty excited By waiting for lighter nights it also gives me time to build up my runs, so that I can keep up. Although they sound lovely and have a back runner running with the last runner.

From that website "run together. Co. uk/groups there does not seem to be any running groups for more than 100 miles from where I live, I looked at Glasgow, Edinburgh, none, Manchester and London had " hundreds "

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Oh no, that's a shame AlMorr. Maybe it's not got every group on it? Or maybe if you wanted to do group runs there is another way to find like minded people? I would say set one up yourself but I think that would be a lot of work!!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

Thanks for your reply 'sunshinefish' I have noted what you told me😊👍

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I hope you do find others to run with if that's what you want. And fingers crossed there is a group out there but just not on that website. Word of mouth or social media maybe to find one?

[sunshinefish Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Just re read your reply. Really surprised that Edinburgh and Glasgow don't have running groups!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

It came up with for both Glasgow and Edinburgh

"The location you searched for cannot be found"

[Demanda1962 Graduate in reply to sunshinefish]

It appears to cover England rather than the UK 😔

[Tartancat Graduate]

Thanks sunshinefish, there's a group near me that I never knew about.

I'm wondering if that website is only showing English groups - it does say it's an update of Run England. Maybe there is a separate Scottish one AlMorr?

[sunshinefish Graduate]

Yes, that sounds reasonable, rather than there being no groups in either Glasgow or Edinburgh AlMorr
