emailed a local running club to see if i could get a bit of training and some company for training. Being an honest chap i explained my parkrun time is about 32 mins at a casual slope or if i push i managed 29 mins and lots of wheezing. Im aware that these arent good times BTW but im just starting again. The bloke from the running club was mad keen to farm my fees until he saw the times. "we dont do a new runner program at the moment and you wont be able to keep up with the seniors who run for an hour"
Kind of sad now, suppose i'll just keep messing about in trainers on my tod. Maybe i can draft the dog into running, the fat git could do with some exercise.
Whereabouts are you based? A decent size club should have groups for anything from walk/run up to fast groups. Frankly a 30 minute PR should put you somewhere in the middle at a lot of clubs.
I'm near Durham, up north. Im not all that bothered about being the slowest as it my default setting i'll find somewhere mainly because id like a decent GNR time ( a gym monkey colleague is running to so itd be nice to match his time) and maybe lose a bit of beef.
