thanks leigh

Join!!
Will give you the chance to run with others of the same ability or slightly bettter than you..will give you a social life and will help you improve .

Best thing i ever did was join my club...it is nice to run with different people....also had some excellent coaching...but then I am a novice!!! I also find i push myself more when at club...let us know what you decide...but i wouldn't hesitate to join...

Do it, motivation and the opportunity to talk running with real people have to be the obvious attractions

You should join a running club as it's good to run with runners who are better than you, this gives you the reason and ability to push yourself more and inturn improve your performance.
Plus as mentioned before, you get to meet and socialise with fellow runners.

i really do want to found out they run at 7 i go to work at 8 very sad if my job changes to days i will join the club thats for sure

i wudnt join cos i run for myself and the last thing i want after a busy day is a load of people nattering on. I run for some peace and for my own reasons, fitness, motivation etc etc and anything i do acheieve, its all done of my own hard work and planning. But join one , cant hurt !!!

Yep. Me too. 10am starts make it great to fit a morning run before work, but they don't help me get finished and out at a decent time in the evening.

I want to join a club too.. but I am a student so I'm verry busy with school and besides school I play Futsal (indoor soccer) in a competition, and I play soccer too (but no competition).. So I can't join a club cause I ain't got enough time for stuff like that (and I do improve running on my own)..

It really depends If you can make the dedicated time to Train as part of a group or just by yourself?
I am with Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers though they are a couple of hours away from me! So I just tend to Train by myself all the time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EEW-9NDM5k
LOL
