GETTING STARTED
We are a friendly running club and
whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced runner we have
something to offer you. You are welcome to turn up to any of
the following weekly sessions; no one will demand that you join, or ask you
for money - we will just be concerned to find a group for you to run with,
suited to your experience and capabilities.
Thursday 7:30 - main club night: Starts at 7:30 at the Hawker Centre.
We meet at 7:30 for a "social mile" (a gentle warm-up), followed
by runs of 2 or 3 up to 8 miles or more, at a variety of pace to suit
everyone. You can have a shower afterwards and join us for a drink in
the bar.
Monday 7:30 - Little Feet: If you are a complete beginner, and would like
some help with getting started, have a look at our "Little
Feet", section about the group that meets on Mondays at The Albion on Fairfield Road
in Kingston
(except Bank Holidays!).
Monday 7:30 - Hampton Hill group; meet at the Hampton Hill
Bushy Park
gate.
Tuesday 7:30 - FCG: You can also join our speedwork sessions on
Tuesdays; meet outside the Legless Frog (formerly the Hand & Flower) on
Ham Common.
Tuesday 7:30 - Thames Ditton group: Meet at the Cricket Club. An informal and
very friendly running session. We organize 2 to 3 groups aiming to run at
different paces between 7.5 and 10 minutes per mile. In the summer we have
a wide choice of off-road routes along by the river or towards Esher
Common. We arrange more targeted training sessions including hill training
and fartleks and longer Sunday runs for those training for marathons. There
is an always well attended social evening once a month. If you would like
to know more about the Tuesday group please contact alan.pemberton@stragglers.org
Monthly: Handicap: On the last Thursday of each month we run our 5
km Handicap and during the spring and
summer (April to August) we also run a Junior Handicap
Please also see the "Stragchat
Forum" (on the link above) and feel free to ask questions there.
