Pondering - Wisdom Required

As a follow on to something that Beanz said on her blog.... club.

I do enjoy club and running with other did make me faster but also I got injured.

How much the club and the injury are linked I don't know.

At present I am not going to club as I know there is no-one slow there for me. I haven't even been to the last 2 commitee meetings.

I'm thinking of resigning from the commitee mid year and not returning to club for a while but maintaining my membership (reduced entries and all that!). Everyone knows everyone and they have all been there for years and not exactly being a socible pixie (I don't do large gatherings) I do wonder what to do.

I now have Spans coaching me and I have the tready. I did want the club's most improved award this year but with not going and not racing I won't get that.

What do you think?

PS anyone else noticed that the colours and size options have gone!

If you feel that the club runs are not the right sort of training for you and if you don't feel fully at home then cut back and be happy running to your own programme.

If you enjoy going to the club and come back feeling refreshed, then stay with it.

You basically know how good it makes you feel. Go with that feeling.

Was going to post a comment, but I think Highway Kind said what I wanted to say (only better!)

In a few months time, if you keep progressing as well as you are now, you may well want to go back to running with the club. Don't give up membership too quickly - just don't be an active member. i'm joing Thames Valley Tri, but only for 1 the discounts at shops/races, and 2 swim sessions - but don't think I'll be that involved with the social side or the run/cycling training

Shame you're not a bit closer, pix.

As ever HK has the right words.

Can you find yourself a running partner.. someone who feels the same way that you do - even if you can't always run together..? Then you gain the best of both worlds. Running in the company of another is great for motivation - and kepps those legs turning when you might otherwise have a CBA moment - and yet you don't have the added pressure of a large group
