Testimonials on Running Keyworth

"Rob has been such a key part to my success with running. I’d only been running for 6 months before attending Rob’s free, social running group in Keyworth, so was naturally really nervous to run with other runners who were most likely more experienced than me. However, Rob leads an inclusive run which is suited to all abilities and runners. The social runs are a great way to build your distance, chat all things running with Rob, who happily shares tips and answers any questions, and I’ve learnt so many amazing routes around the village that I had no idea existed! I have also made some lovely friends through running club who I now run with more regularly and take part in events with. In addition to running on a Monday in Keyworth, I have also started attending Rob’s coached session on a Wednesday. I absolutely love everything about these sessions! Again, Rob manages to make them inclusive and really pushes each individual to their full potential. Every week is exciting and different and I really have noticed a big difference in my fitness, technique and confidence when running. Thank you to Rob for using his enthusiasm for the sport to inspire and encourage others to love to run too! "- K, Keyworth

"Can I give a massive shout out to Rob and the other organisers of running keyworth for the help, support and friendships I've developed over the last 18 months in my ability to run! What started as a simple journey to complete a c25k, I've now completed 3 half marathons, something I never would have achieved on my own. Thanks once again.
If you're thinking of starting and taking that first step out the door, then definitely come to RK! "- L, Keyworth

"I didn't like running but joined this group to train for the Great North Run. Since joining I have been introduced to trail running, completed 2 half marathons and now find running enjoyable. I cannot recommend Rob's group and running highly enough for meeting people and keeping fit. "-J, Keyworth

 

 

How is success measured in running?

 

Speed? Length of the run? Weight loss?  No of Facebook friends?

 

There is a majority of us who start running who can just about make it to the bottom of the street

If week two they can beat this that is a success, right?

 

Success stories dont have to always be in miles, it can be running five mins non-stop or the first time you run up the hill to St Mary`s church or Brookview drive.

In the short existence of Running Keyworth we have had some really good stories

* Sort of a graduation run where a number of us participated in the nearby "Wymeswold Waddle" a five mile hilly road race on May bank holiday. Not only a cracking day out but we all got a quality technical T-shirt also, the bling always helps!

* Few of the Ladies did the popular "Race for life" 5k raising money for charity as well

* Another nearby race saw one lady do the "Stilton stumble 10k" at Cropwell Bishop in absolutely pouring rain but raising lots of money for Alzheimers society

* Two of our runners went to North Notts to complete the "Worksop Halloween Half Marathon" , lovely route through Clumber Park

* Our first Marathon runner didnt do things by half when she did the multi-terrain "Spires and Steeples Marathon" from Lincoln to Sleaford, weather again a bit mixed!

* Our September  2019 batch of C25K graduates saw maybe 12 weeks in one lady do her first 10k race at Holme Pierrepont

* Four Ladies did the Thoresby half Marathon with two following up the next week by doing the Leicestershire 10k

* Two ladies ran the Shires and Spires trail Marathon in Northamptonshire with around 2,500ft of ascent

*  One lady ran a Marathon solo during lockdown around the local area

* We have helped several members who experienced secondary mental health care benefit hugely from starting and continuing ruining and the supportive environment the activity brings
