We are a small running group based in Coalville established in May 2013 with the assistance of the Run England Project to get people running and we now operate a Run Together group.

We meet every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 19:00 near The Old Iceland Car Park, Bridge Road, Coalville LE67 3QP. We have several groups that meet at the same time so don’t be put off. On a Tuesday we Couch to 3k/5k Group & a social groups and on a Thursday we have Couch to 3k/5k & 5k-10k groups. When we aren’t running our programs we meet for social runs both nights

In winter we will run around the local streets due to the dark, in summer, routes can be a mixture of road and cross-country.

In short we are a social running group, aimed at getting runners (that’s you!) of all abilities outside and enjoying running, enjoying the countryside and enjoying yourself. We are not a running club, so we are not looking to be competitive or to break any records, the group is there to act as motivation and support for those that want it.

We provide support and opportunity for people to incorporate running into their lifestyle. We start with some gentle jogging and walking at a nice easy pace to build up a bit of stamina so that eventually you should be able to jog about 3 miles non-stop. You need plenty of gossip in these sessions.

The group is led by 2 Group Leaders Patrick Tyers and Lisa Hall. It is the group leaders responsibility to ensure that group meets on a regular basis, that sessions are tailored to the individuals taking part and to provide support throughout the sessions. It also helps to be absolutely nuts about running!

Best results are achieved by those who create time and CAN change their lifestyle. You need to be selfish to do this. Make sure others understand that they mustn’t make demands on your time during this period.  Better still bring the people with you!
Once you’ve done the hard bit in creating a slot of time for yourself, then just repeat the course sessions a couple of times a week will do fine.
