I had done a bit of recreational running with my son and on my own for some years before joining a club. I was always too intimidated to join as I thought all the members would be top elite athletes and I would not be able to keep up. How wrong I was! The Club members gave me a lovely warm welcome and the sessions suit all ages and abilities. Their enthusiasm is infectious and no matter what level of ability you are at, the sessions are achievable and valuable. Fartlek, tempo runs, hills..... these terms are no longer frightening! The members are friendly, super sociable and the Club also hosts many social events and extra ad hoc sessions throughout the whole week if you want to do more, or run with a group. Competitions, races, cross country, social jog ... P&D cater for all, and membership fees are minimal.
