Running is a great way of keeping fit, beating stress and making friends. For several years now, Abingdon AC have been offering running-from-scratch courses, which take beginners from running a minute at a time to running several miles in one go.
We have found that the most important factor in people keeping up their running is making lots of friends who also run and taking part in regular group runs.

Training: Warmup, walk/run (run segments gradually increasing) along the wide footpaths in the vicinity of Tilsley Park, cooldown, stretching.
Cost: Free!
