I started running about 9 months ago to loose weight. I managed to shed the pounds very successfully - but somehow in the process managed to get hooked on this running madness.
I see plenty of other people out running along the river - but wondered whether there was a local running club in the Barnes area of southwest London?
It would be good to have some company to run with once a week to keep me motivated and to help me improve on race times.

It's a great friendly club who run various distances website is www.barnesrunners.co.uk
I went one evening after lockdown and the club captain was unbelievably condescending. It's basically a boys club with a lot of pissing competitions.
I run with West4Harriers which is much more welcoming. And women are not seen as unwelcome add-ons!
At W4H, we often help out charities. It's fun!
I ran with Barnes a couple of times during lockdown. My issue with them was not the charity stuff – it was the fact that the captain was such a toff, and there were no women! Putney was actually set up by Rob Morley as a fundraising running club – and there is nothing wrong with that!
I know Josh, I’ve met him at loads of races, and friends of mine know him from Sierra Leone. You can be a good runner and raise money! And you can be a nice guy!
Come and run with Putney! We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Putney War Memorial at 7.10pm for a 7.20pm start. And we raise money for charity 😊
