Going for my first trip to a running club tonight. I'm terrified, scared cos I'm so slow & scared because I get shy & anxious around new people. Wish me luck.

Good for you, best of luck! I'm in exactly the same situation, still not built up the courage to get along to my local club :(

Let us know how you get on...

Hahaha, yeah I'm in the ninjas! I think she runs wherever she gets the chance lol! She's in the harriers but she's not there tonight so I've no familiar face to look for!!
 
Well good luck, I'm not in a club but many who post on here are , I've no doubt that a club will bring you on leaps n bounds , literally !

Well I had a brilliant time!! It was an assessment week so I did a timed 5k, managed about 40.30 so still horrendously slow but felt great when quite a few people came back to find me & run my last bit with me! I managed to run without stopping to walk for much longer than I have before & it was so helpful just having the encouragement & advice.

I was so scared & so stressed out but it was totally worth it.

Few month back I could only run twice in a week as needed lots of recovery , today I'm running twice in a day for first time ever ... Did 3mile this mornin with me mate and gonna do 5 mile with him tonight, probably just a one off but wanted t try it anyway.

Does your wife know :)

Been thinking of trying the same - will need to do a sneaky run in my lunch break then normal run on a night . . hoping the mrs doesn't clock me taking my kit to work :)
 
going to try 5 miles tonight - 3 mile jog last night hurt a bit !!. legs still not talking to me.

managed the 5 miles- legs felt great but HR was 10bpm too high so body not recovered yet. try again in 48hrs I think.

Was just a one off for me mate , although never say never
 
Just been out for a steady 10k this morning, love conditions like that. Cool, calm and a bit damp...

You lads have inspired me, might try a little 3 miler tonight after the kids are in bed...
 
got my 10k number sorted this morning ( got it via an admin error but its all cushty now ) so need to up the miles a bit
thinking of running to parkrun on saturday then home after - thats about 15k in total and gives me a couple of little rests between each rough 5k
did it a few weeks ago when it was red hot and enjoyed it but ive gone off the boil since then
