oh cool. totally didnt expect any1 find anyone from so nearby on here! woo hoo. ye i went to a jog scotland group last yr and it actually put me off runnin but for the simple reason that i thought i was fitter than i was and that run nearly killed me i think! but i guess i should try it again since i am actually able to run alot further now. as for clubs i dnt think i cud handle that really i would be trailin behind im not that fast!

Welcome to the forum!

I run with the Hamilton Harriers and can personally guarantee that not all of us are fast! I had only run 5km when I joined last spring and the club has helped me immensely.

Joining either jogscotland like Flakey suggested or a club will definately bring on your running leaps and bounds.
