Hi,


I'm new to the area and looking to start running again after a 6 month hiatus. Can anyone recommend any groups? Or does anyone fancy a running partner, or maybe a few of us could run together?


I've seen park run but don't quite fancy committing every Saturday morning to an early start. Plus it helps my motivation if I've promised someone I'll be somewhere. I could easily ignore the clock for park run :)


Thanks,


Ashley

Hi Ashley a small group of us run on a Monday morning at 930 from Dulwich Park usually, through the woods when its not too muddy. We are pretty slow but you are welcome to join us. we run 5-6 K usually unless someone is injured. Coffee afterwards is virtually mandatory!

Let me know if you are interested,

Louise

Just off for a run to Brockwell park

Hi Ashley, you could try Good Gym Southwark. They meet at Old Spike roastery, Peckham Rye on Wednesday evenings, run as a group, complete a task and then run back. It might help with your motivation and avoids the mornings! See www.goodgym.org for details. But if you can get up on Saturdays I highly recommend Peckham Rye parkrun :)

I don't know if our group may suit? Meet 10am every Saturday outside the Rye caf? in the park.


We are a varied bunch, some run, some power walk. We stop every 3-400 metres to do resistance exercises so the stop/start might bother you.


PM if you want more details, it's all led by us and a coffee at the end encourages bonding...

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
