Thanks everyone  Will maybe see if I can give my local one a go, will I have to pay for the first couple of sessions do you think or is it usually see if you like us first? I like running both on my own and with others, have to say the most noticable improvement in my running has come when running with others as I seem to push myself more.

My club gives you 4 weeks free first, I'm sure most clubs would do something like that (or pay for a few sessions with no further obligation).

give it a try, you've nothing to lose by it they should tell you how long they give you as free trial period just cause you try a club dont mean you have to join in with the socialising aspect of it all , just do the bits that suits you clubs suits some and for others not - for me its a no go sadly ( but then i'm a loner - i know it and admit it ) thats just how it is, good luck and try and enjoy |

Huddersfield, which may or may not be your nearest, does the first 4 weeks free.

Thats good to know, I guess its just going to be a case of trying some and seeing which I like. I think I need one with a good mix, as well im a slower runner and wouldnt feel comfortable in a club thats full of very speedy bees. Oooh thats near where I work and probably about 5 miles from home, will have a squizz now. |

As a general rule would join a club. My form improved massively and i think that was down to being in a club, if the first one you visit isnt good for you try others

Doh - I seriously misread the header . I thought it said SWIMMING club. That was £30 per month. My running club fees are £22 per year and another £15 of you affiliate to SAF.. Money well spent.

LOL at the most expensive running club in the country! I must look into joing my local club, some company on long runs would be good. |
