If you want to push yourself you can try going up a group. If you\u2019ve had a tough weekend or a few weeks off or even just feel a bit \u2018slow\u2019 then just swap down a group for a week.

Running is a physical activity and it will at times be a little difficult but our leaders have done this before and they are super-encouraging and friendly. We like to see our runners having fun and a chat as they go to take their minds off the hard work!
