MATES Running Club

Running is a brilliant kick start to your day!

One of the brilliant things about running is that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, we can all run together and share support and our goals all in one place... on the MATES Running Club Strava! (see below for more)

Whether you want to join us and have a run at Chelmsford Park Run, post in our Strava Running Club to see if anyone fancies a run in your area, or just share your goals, training or photos and get a great pat on the back from our community, MATES is there for YOU.

Did you know?...

A good brisk bit of exercise can have a positive effect on your physical and mental health for up to 7 hours.

Parkrun

One of the most popular events for running in the MATES community are the weekly Parkruns...

A free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you!

Couch to 5k

MATES Running Club is for all abilities, some people can run ultra marathons, some like a nice jog. Some of us may have done no exercise for years!

The only goal at MATES is your own goal, of what suits you and what suits your ability.

A great way of improving fitness is the NHS Couch to 5k Plan - click here for more info.

If this is something you are interested in, why not pop a message in the MATES Strava Running Club to see if anyone else fancies doing this with you, or pop a post in the MATES Strava Running Club to let us know what you are doing so our running community can support and encourage you on your journey.
