Or is your ambition something more serious like running a marathon?

The YTRRC Beginners and Slower Runners Group could be exactly what you need.

For those new to running or for those returning to running after a break for illness, injury, pregnancy or apathy and do not feel confident that they could join in the club runs this is an ideal introduction (or reintroduction) to running. You don't need any running experience or to be particularly fit. If you can jog 200 yards you should find no problems joining this group.

There is no requirement  that you must join the club and there is no charge. All you have to do is turn up!

The group meets at Yeovil Town Football Club, Huish Park, Yeovil BA22 8YF at 6.30pm each Tuesday evening. It is supported by the Yeovil Town Road Running Club and  operates under the guidance of experienced club runner Debbie Neal who will support you throughout and, if you wish, can arrange for a "buddy" to help you start out on or get back to your running.

The routes followed vary in length from around 3 miles and up to 5 miles or so. When you're regularly running 5 miles and, perhaps, want to try further that's the time to think about moving up to the full club runs. There's no requirement for you to do this. You can remain with Beginner and Slower Runner Group for as long as you wish, but the opportunity is always there!

The Tuesday evening club runs are supplemented by a sociable run, at the pace of the slowest, most Sunday mornings, meeting at Montacute (on the first Sunday each month) or at Goldenstones car park to run at 9.00 a.m., and by dedicated track sessions run by Tim Hawkins on alternate Friday evenings (see calendar for details).
