I am halfway through the program now and was just wondering is it to early to join a club. Should I wait till am comfortable running 30 mins/5K?

I know the running club near me caters for all levels...( I am a lone runner though,) I am sure you will get lots of replies..

There are clubs which have beginners, intermediate.. etc etc... check it out :)

That would depend on the club's activities . But in the meantime - parkrun!!

My local club actually does c25k, so people join from zero and go all the way to hero :)

I recommend you give your local clubs a call and ask them what pace and distances they run.

The first one I called after I graduated told me I was too slow to join their slowest team :-)

I called another club and there was a team where I could fit in. I have been running with the club - in three different teams, for 1½ years now and I couldn't be happier.
