I often get questions about distance and pace for our group runs, and I totally understand the curiosity. The truth is, we've got a variety of paces and distances, and with our limited 605 Running Company staff, we aim to make it a fantastic, yet personalized experience for everyone. We kick off and wrap up at the same spot, taking full advantage of the bike trail. It's an out-and-back route, so you get to choose your own pace and distance. When I'm hosting a group run, I'm there from the start, looking after your belongings, and cheering you on at the finish line. For me, the group run is all about service - serving our awesome runners! I'm here to greet you, introduce you to fellow runners, share some laughs, provide information, whip up some coffee, and ensure you're fueled with snacks. It brings me immense joy to get to know you and support you during your run. While I can't run the miles for you, I can create an environment that celebrates your dedication to running in our community. The magic happens when more people join in! Bring a friend, make a friend, or invite a friend. The key is to carve out time for the group run. If you're concerned about pace, trust me, there are likely others with the same thoughts. Take a leap, join the group run, and spread the word. I'm confident you'll forge new connections, and soon, distance and pace won't be sources of fear or anxiety anymore. Let's make each run a celebration! #Run605 #GroupRunJoy #RunningCommunityLove

There’s still time to sign up for our exciting virtual running workshop tomorrow at noon! Whether you’re a new runner or have years of experience, this workshop is designed just for you. Have you ever asked yourself: Why am I an injury-prone runner? As I age, why can’t I run the same as I used to? If I'm hurt, do I have to stop running?

If you are looking for answers to any of these questions, this workshop is for you! https://buff.ly/3YeJ6Cq #healthyrunning #virtualworkshop #physicaltherapy #runners

Running by its very nature can be a tough relationship. It can be hard on the body, challenging to your motivation and grueling in its slow progression. But if you’re having a hard time learning to love running, perhaps it’s time you learned to let it love you, instead. Learn how an emotional connection can build a heart-mind connection, support emotional resilience, and transform each run into a deeply enriching experience.

🏃♀️ I’ve got a half marathon booked at the end of May. It’ll be my first ever timed and marshalled running event (i'm going to get a bib and everything). Being honest, i've always been a bit hit and miss when it comes to running. I'll get into it, then pause for 18 months, then randomly do a 10k then not run for a couple of weeks. But the past year or so I’ve been quite consistent with my training. And egged on by my new running pals, I signed up for the Hackney Half. With the benefit of age/wisdom/hindsight i've realised that there are some things that have been important for keeping me on track this time around: 1) Have a goal. It can be small, but set your sights on something. And don’t get too ambitious or too ahead of yourself. (Hello Hackney half!) 2) Keep it fun. If you enjoy something you’re more likely to keep doing it. Simples. It’s also good to mix things up so it stays interesting (new running routes and pals, speed vs distance, hill training - i'm trying it all) 3) Form some habits. Find a routine, a frequency and a reason to keep doing it. Build it into your day, week, month. (My THAT RUNNING CLUB Thursdays are sacred and rarely missed!) 4) Identify the barriers. Knowing why you don’t do something is almost as important as knowing why you do. Reduce friction and be realistic about what is going to stop you (like an injury) vs something that can be overcome (e.g. time constraints). 5) Celebrate the wins. Mark the milestones with a reward. A new pair of shoes, a new bit of kit, a rest day. It’s all about that positive reinforcement. Anyone in my network also signed up for the Hackney Half? Shall we go for a post run bevvie? 🍻 #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #halfmarathon LetsDoThis

5 ways to overcome Runners Boredom! Get off that boredom boat and add these new novelties to make your long run more enjoyable. #runners #athletelife #trainsmarternotharder #marathon #musclerecovery

Here's why you should sign up for a running race: I signed up for Semi de Paris 2025. 🏅 I have never run a semi-marathon before. And I was reluctant to pay a hefty 70 € to just run. I could do it for free. Yet, they are rightful in doing so and should be expensive. But it has taught me some valuable lessons. Here they are: ♦ We value things when it comes with a price tag. The moment I signed up for something expensive, I am now prepared to put effort into doing well. If it were so cheap, people would sign up, but chicken out on the day of the run. ♦ Now, I run more regularly than ever before. I run 2 times a week. I am more invested in learning about nutrition and preparation strategies to build endurance. ♦ I find ways to make running enjoyable. If it were enjoyable everyone would be doing it. This is where building a community of like-minded people can foster a sense of belonging. Running clubs or communities are one of the best ways to meet people and also develop a sense of accountability. ♦ Finally, you have a reason to start working out and eating well. Without a purpose, no one is willing to undergo an unpleasant activity, even though it is good in the long term. If you are an expat in Paris and want to focus on building a high-quality life and meeting high-quality, interesting people - form a running community or try different communities and see who you vibe with the most. PS: Me and Joshua ran with a running community today and it was fun to catch up later for coffee with the folks! 👟 #running #expat #community #marathon
