Anyone out there in Bolton and district who is new to running and fancies company for evening and weekend training runs? I am 49 and female and don't want to run alone. I'm also 2 stone overweight and need to get faster and fitter. I'm currently at the 12-minutes a mile stage.

You are right, I do need a confidence boost-sorry to sound such a wet blanket but I'm hoping when I can run a bit faster and better that my confidence will improve.
Yes, I do run weekends, I'm now up to about 8 - 9 miles on a Sunday. I'm glad you replied - what stage are you up to in terms of speed etc?. I'm also up for evening runs if necessary
I'm going down to join Bolton Harriers (nr Leverhulme park) on Thursday (7/11) . Why not join there yourself, as there are groups for different levels.
I go for a long run on Sunday (around Chapeltown / Turton etc - approx 11 miles). I train at around 9 minute mile pace with a friend. I also run shorter runs during the week, at around 6am (!!!!!!)
You sound a bit quick for me at the moment but good luck at Bolton United Harriers.I think its great to go out at 6am - the experts say you can really burn off the calories when you excerise early morning.
i usually run weekends 9-13ml but looking for longer slower runs to get stamina back for flm..see you 7/11
I've thought about joining Bolton Harriers but am a little nervous about going down on my own.
Let me know what it's like and I might join you next week.
I am also a beginner in Bolton but can only manage two miles at present. So far everyone seems to be looking for longer runs but if anyone is interested in teaming up with someone who wants to improve, I would love to hear from them
I would like to join you and am interested in improving.

Glad you enjoyed Bolton Harriers - have you actually joined already or did you just go for a "taster"? Horwich RMI Harriers has a track and is a club with loads of excellent coaches. They meet Tuesday and Thursday just like Bolton also they have long weekend groups for marathon training or just to do a long run with someone. I think I would go there as its my end of town so to speak. Well done to Anna Krala on her pb.
Family loyalty means that joining Horwich instead of Bolton is not an option!! I enjoyed Bolton last night. The facilities are good and everyone is friendly. There's a few different groups, and I ended up running my fastest ever 10k!!!! It's a tenner to join 'til April. It was great to see you there Anna. I've no training partner this Sunday, so if you want to meet at Jumbles, I tend to leave home around 8am, so could maybe meet you between 8 and 8.30 ?

See you Thursday.
i am 32 and I have just had a baby(5months)
ive not done any exercise since I was In school apart from when I was 27 I tried to run and only ever managed to do 1mile if I was lucky.
Anyone in Westhoughton who is completely unfit like me who wants to get fit and is just ashamed as I am who would be willing to go for a run with me?
Thanks
Search for 'Over Hulton Running Club' on Facebook, or if you don't use Facebook, feel free to message me and I can pass your details on. Good luck and I hope it works out for you!
