I hope this is in Nuneaton because that where I live and Hartshill has a really nice country park with lots of chipped bark lined paths. However as my partner is quicker than me I don't want to run in parks without a trusted person of the same speed as me.

According to Nuneaton Council's website the Etone sports centre runs a women only running group - might be worth checking out.

Great club, I used to run for them and hope to return to action for them in the Brum x-country league. Have run the HH!! It is tough but is a great race.

Hi all,

I've looked at some of the clubs on the net and found some too structured. In addition to this I'm at college on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Once the term starts I know I will have a shed load of work to do as it will be the final year and also work full time on a shift patern.

So maybe a flexible training partner would be a better option. What does everyone think? I don't want to put my running on hold especially as I've only just started again after a 10-12 year break.

Hey Helen! You might even see me and my dodgy knee there at the race! Its going through a bad phase at the mo, so any advice I gave you about returning to health ignore!!

The long distance runs combined with snowboarding isn't really a good combination, evidently!

Good luck ,just run as and when you can!

Dan

On the whole your advice was top notch. I have the advantage of a semi protective partner who has BANNED me from skiing!!!

I really don't know if I will be doing the race in November as I', just about to start the final year of a part time HNC course and with the job I've got I have to do 2 lots of shifts per week just so I can finsh early on college days. Doing 10.00-19.00 on Monday, Wednesday & Friday then 07.00-16.00 on Tuesday & Thursday some weeks possibly followed by Saturday morning if I'm rotaed on and fitting in college work is no fun. I hope the results at the end will lead to a better job so I guess it will be worth it.

Anyway if my running goes to pot there is always next year's Flora Light. Then a longer run after it. My big mouth isn't going to get me in trouble just yet by saying which distance!
