& Laces

& Laces is a women's running group based in Burgess Park, South London.  We mainly have improver sessions at the moment but  we also sometimes run returning to running groups and social runs. The sessions are designed so it doesn't  matter if you are slow or fast. The goal is to enjoy the sessions and the company. We usually go for a coffee after the session in the local area.

The improver sessions are interval sessions but they are not as scary as they sound - you can run at your own pace,  the number of laps or reps is always a range and there is plenty of rest time built in. They are for women who can run 20 minutes continuously or have completed the return to running course. We discuss tips on stretching and strengthening during focused sessions with recent sessions on hips and glutes. 

The return to running course is a 6 week programme and is a fast track version of the NHS couch to 5k. It is designed for women who can run but have had a break and want to get back into running.  We hope to run this again soon.

The leaders are experienced runners who hold England Athletic Leaders in Running Fitness qualifications along with safeguarding and first aid qualifications. They also enjoy running and have completed 5k, 10k, 10 mile, half marathons and marathons. 

We look forward to meeting you. 

We are doing a group 5k "race" on 11th October (so there will not be a session then).
