Joining a Running Club

Hi all,

Now that you started running, you may consider to join a running club. Running clubs are a great way to meet and train with other like minded people. Running clubs can be only for training but there are clubs where members can enter competitive races. 

You maybe not sure if a running club is right for you. You may think that running is the time that you have all to yourself. It's the time that you can be with yourself and reflect on yours life's matters.

In the list below we can see 10 reasons with the main benefits of joining a running club; There are times more reasons to join a club, but I hope it can help you in your decision. Any question, just get in touch by email.

1) You will receive couching and motivation from fellow runners;

2) You will be running as a group, not on your own (just remember that cold and wet days where you have to dig deep to find some motivation to go out alone);

3) Running will become part of your weekly routine;

4) More experienced runners will be able to coax you past "the wall" (Solo runners can testify that, when you're out on your own, it's very easy to plateau and think you can't go any faster, or run any further. However, more experienced runners are living proof that it is possible to get past the wall, and they can help get you past it);

5) You can take part in races as a group and you will hear about the latest running events and news;

6) You will probably make new friends;

7) You will get in shape;

8) You will be able to discuss with others about best practice and technique;

9) Beginners are always welcomed;

10) It can help to de-stress after a long day of work or study. 

Let's Run and Smile!
