Kiss off to running clubs

[Man from Del Monte]

Anyway, why kiss off running clubs, don't they organise the vast majority of races we all run in?
Respect to em i say, if you don't want to join one, don't, but pointless slagging em off.

Totally agree, without clubs there would be no sport at all, not just running. I got a lot of support and advice from Settle Harriers when I started with this sport just over two years ago and through work commitments etc cannot get out on the training runs but find it invaluable when I do make it to watch them disappear into the distance and the reality of how slow I am sets in. still its nice to catch up with them in the bar just before it shuts. training with them is harder than the races.
a bit of an own goal there Stolly methinks
