Interesting @pifko you mention moving from tri -> run club. Considered similar move but I like current club & still unlikely to do many social / group training runs unless they're on the doorstep and at convenient times so staying put.
It's more expensive being part of 2 clubs instead of just 1, but the club is based at the athletics track, a 2min jog from my house, so it's super convenient for me :)

That'll defo work well for you. I'd be one or other not both. Current club is £35 + affiliation + £4 per (venue based) session (I mostly train solo now on local trails plus commutes). Alternative is also £50 (pretty sure that includes ea affiliation too) with track sessions less than 1 mile away but they're aimed at the mid-distance speedy folks. Sessions suitable for me would be at different venue 4 miles away.
Anyway, /csb, writing it down helps me think it through. Too many ()'s sorry.

Lots of long reads there, nice.
2016 I went further (almost 1400 miles apparently) and consequently a little bit slower but occasionally quick and at least my lung didn't deflate (so far, or that I noticed anyway).
2017 going far again plus usual Fell races, xc, parkrun etc as life allows.

Means no National XC participation again tho and that's a huge pull to change.
