Hello Jollies!  

We are a group of friends who meet every Wednesday outside the Co-op in Eastington for a spot of light jogging!  Beginners are welcome and we also invite more experienced runners as well. The idea is to have fun, get fit and feel safe exercising in the fresh air. Think of it as the 'M5' of fitness...start in the slow lane, progress to the middle and before you know it you'll be challenging yourself at the ultimate level...the fast lane!  We have a doubling back system so the faster ones go on ahead, then return to the group...the rest continue in their own time whilst maintaining a safe group at all times.

We do leave very promptly at 7.00pm.  Hi-viz. gear, a torch and good trainers are all you need.  During these winter months we will walk/jog/run to The Stonehouse Court Hotel and mainly back to Eastington along the pavements.  This takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

We are looking for new beginners so please get in touch if you would like to
start.  Don't be put off by the 'jogging/running 'thing!  We have our wonderful 'brisk walkers' too and I really want to encourage anyone out there to give it a whirl.  I know how it feels, as I started as a complete beginner not even able to run 100 yards!  

We will be entering a 5K in 3 months time to help motivate our members, and once you start jogging regularly, your improvement in terms of strength and stamina will astound you!  Sounds good?  It is totally free and you will notice a difference in your fitness and body shape in 4 weeks.  My plans are to increase our sessions to twice a week and then thrice...you will become so fit and toned once you reach this stage.  

Feel invigorated in the cool fresh night air get out of the house and have a laugh with friends.  With no gym fees what are you waiting for?  Just turn up or phone me for more information.  A warm welcome awaits!
