The club has a "turn back" policy so they always loop back to pick up the slower runners (ie. Me), so you won't get lost and don't have to keep up with the speed freaks at the front (ie. John).
We run on Wednesdays at 7.30pm and Sundays at 8.30am. There's also a track session on a Tuesday, 7.15pm at Croydon Arena, to work on speed (they even welcomed me to this too, so they take care of their slowbies!).
