Hackney Marshes Ladies Running group

 Email rec'd from the Hackney Marshes Ladies Running Group:


Meet every Monday evening to be ready to leave at 7.00 pm Meeting point: The Elderfield Pub (at a table near the back) 57 Elderfield Road Hackney E5 0LF.

The fee is either £15 for a calendar month, or £5 pay as you run. So you can just turn up and run if you want.  For the first time, just come 5-10 minutes early to complete the disclaimer, and then you're ready to go. (There is an option to get changed in the ladies bathroom and leave the bags behind the counter. In exchange I would encourage to buy a bottle of water or tea once in a while as a good will gesture to recognize their hospitality) We run for an hour and a quarter, including warm-up and stretching at the end. The distance covered varies, as it depends on what kind of workout we are doing on the day, but usually 4-7km (though usually not all in one go). The session is based around 2 main sections that usually include speed and strength work and, above all, are fun. We have a mixed range of abilities from a casual runner to marathon runners, but that's fine as each session is designed to give the faster runners a really good workout whilst making sure everyone enjoys themselves and nobody gets left behind.
