My training just took an interesting turn...

Another +1 for joining the running club here. My wife and I joined a competitive athletics club about 6 months ago as I was coming back from 2 months out with an injury. I easily have the most room for improvement in the group, but the support and advice I've gotten to get stronger, quicker and to hopefully avoid further serious injury has been invaluable. Everyone at the club has been super encouraging and really helped drive me to want to get better. I have no regrets at all. Also, track running is a different beast if you've never done it. They are slightly bouncy and it really drives you forward. Just remember, take it easy the first few times to protect your calves until they're used to it and you'll be grand 😀

Happy Holidays to you Mark. Thanks for videos.

Merry Christmas, what a lovely looking run ❤️

Give it a try Mark! I’ve joined a running club. I’m very incompetent in ANY social situation but they’ve made me feel so at ease (so far as possible 😂) The track sessions are amazing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS Mark!!🎅🎄🎁

The running club would be such a good thing. Carl (my brother) tends to be quiet around people etc. but even he loves running with our club now. GoPro seemed to do a good job 👍 have an amazing Christmas pal

Good to see the spicy KMs returning. You’ve been very patient with this injury. ❤

Lovely looking run that one. Get yourself along to that running club - suspect you'll not look back - everyone is nervous before heading along for the first time. Hope it all works out! Merry Christmas!

Yay. If you do show up at Queens Park that must make me an influencer 😂

Running clubs you can come and go and pick and choose the bitsyou like . Long trail runs at weekends usually and mid week speed work are often the most popular.

Join the club Mark! It's so good for your training and social life. I am sure you'll love it mate. Good to see you're starting 2025 with a decent fitness test. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bud! 😎🤘

Great stuff Mark mate. Have a great Xmas! 🎅🎄

[@jase0171]

Got to say mate that logo needs going on a t-shirt for your next race , I’ve also looked at joining NDR and done a few races they organised , I’ve been in a few running clubs over the years but got to admit I like running on my own too much so not for me but well worth ago .

My grey cloudy videos are usually a bit of a mess, low light and bouncing from running 😂 this looks pristine in comparison Good luck and peaceful holidays to you and your family

I joined a club a few years ago - there is definitely value to it. Unfortunately, it doesn't really for around my life at the moment, so didn't use it very much!

I rocked up at my local running club without knowing anyone at all. I nearly went out with the fastest group by accident but thankfully didn’t and found the right group for my below average pace. That was 10 years ago and I haven’t looked back. There’s so much great running advice from running club members and lots of inspiration and motivation as well. Hope it goes well.
