Doing the Mornington Chasers 10k in regents park in Jan, is anyone else? Does anyone know where I can find a running partner in North London?

What level are you at? How often are you looking to train?

flabs · #3 20th Sep 06, 10:34 AM

I train 3 times a week at the moment. Trying to work up to an hour each run. Would be nice to find someone of the same level so we can keep eachother going

You could try to check out your local running club. Can't you find someone through The Chasers? If not you could try Tired and Tested?

i'll have a look on chasers. What's tired and tested?

yeah try tiredandtested.com I used it to find a football team, it is really cool!

I'll probably be doing that race myself, but unfortunately don't live near enough North London to help as a training partner!

Go to either UKA or www.british-athletics.co.uk, both I think have a club finder facility that you can use.

Sorry don't live anywhere near North London but does any one live near Stotfold and Arlesey in Bedfordshire and run in the morning. I'm desperate to find a running partner as I hate going out on my own.

Hey I am in Milton Keynes, I tend to going running in the morning around 9am.

How far are you from MK?

mickygee · #10 22nd Sep 06, 12:41 PM

Milton Keynes is unfortunatly about half an hours drive from mine (on a good day). Although I do love to go shopping at the Centre MK.

oh well!

It can be a bit expensive being this close to the shopping center. I went in to buy a book and nearly came out with a £500 painting......................
