A New Beginning

Hi everyone *waves with both hands*

I've just joined and i'm excited to start. Ive been wanting to run for a long time, but i've never had the confidence. I think its because in school we were always doing cross country runs and bleep tests and every other thing that would make us run forever! I hated every bit of it! I became that person that said "you shouldn't have to run unless you're being chased!" *takes a deep breath and calms down*. Anyway, it's lovely to meet you all :-).

We will all be with you on your first run. What you waiting for? Get those trainers on and off you go !! You'll be glad you did.

Hi BaeGoth101, no bleep testing here, I promise!

Welcome.

I think the problem with schools and running is that there’s no time to do it properly. We never had a build up and neither did my kids... cross country day arrived and it was “this is the course... now off you go” which is, for most pupils, a daunting if not impossible task.

Here it’s different... you’ll learn to build up to 30 minutes and then if you want to go further/longer there are both plans and experienced runners to help you do that.

Run nice and slowly and you’ll complete this... giving you a great base to take your running anywhere you’d like to, from running for fitness and mental well being all the way to ultra marathons.

You can do this... enjoy your journey.
