Hi,


I want to try and give my running enthusiasm a bit of a boost and so I'm looking for a running partner(s).


I'd like to try and go twice a week, for about 30 minutes as my fitness level is a bit rusty at the moment, but then building up to 45 minutes as I get back into my stride.


When fit my 10k time is just under 50minutes, but happy to run slower to begin with :-)


I'm currently looking for work, and so can be really flexible in terms of time. Happy to run during the day, evenings or weekends. Am hoping(!) to find work soon though and then of course will be limited to evenings and weekends.


Please do get in touch if you fancy it!


Kim

Hi Kim,


Have you tried parkrun? Free, timed 5ks 9am every Saturday in parks across the UK. Local parkruns are in Dulwich, Peckham Rye and Brockwell parks.


If you want to try running with a club, Dulwich Park Runners have a beginner's course that's also open to people returning to running - next one begins in September I believe. Or you can turn up on Tuesday nights and try a run to see if you like the club. You can do three runs for free with no commitment. You don't need to be super-speedy, but seeing as you can (or could once) do a sub-50 10k then I don't think you need to worry about that anyway! Meet at Trevor Bailey Sports Club just off the South Circular, 7.30pm Tuesdays.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
