The members of the group are so supportive of each other, from the first time runners to the marathon runners. We are coached by Conor Graham who gently challenges ,encourages you to go further, do better . You make new friends. There are Facebook groups within the club to keep you in touch with your part of the club

Love CRC :) I am a full time mum so I rarely (never 😣) have a chance to go to club runs so my training programme is all online.. Conor writes a programme for me and I am part of a Facebook group of people trying to achieve the same goal.. I defo couldn’t have ran the Cheltenham half as well as I did if it wasn’t for Conor and the CRC.. we have an incredibly dedicated and passionate coach who answers any questions whenever he can (including evenings and weekends, in addition to having his own young family to look after as well) and very lovely club members (both whom I’ve spoken to on the online groups and who have welcomed me with open arms at the races I’ve taken part in as part of the CRC).. highly recommended 👍

Just into week 3/10 (plus having done the intro week sessions) of the couch to 5K! Having tried and failed in the past, Conor and the whole group are doing a great job at helping achieve what I thought wouldn’t be possible. For someone who did no exercise, I feel a lot fitter already. I am enjoying running, getting out with the fresh air and the lovely group make it fun and Conor is a great coach.

I’m having a wonderful time at Cheltenham Running Club. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. I have never run before, I’m 60 so this is my last chance. I’ve managed to run far better than I ever thought possible. The programme is excellently paced and Connor is on hand to help you with any questions.

I joined the club in January 2017 without any real running experience. The only runs I had done before were in football training and on match days, so no real distance running. I started off on the couch 2 5k programme and by the April I had run my first continuous 5k in a park run. We got taught all about proper technique and so on . By the summer I attempted my first 10k race in the Cheltenham Challenge, and completed it on the hottest day of the year, something I thought I would never do, but thanks to Conor and other members of the club quite a few of us managed this. Since then I have done a few 10k’s a lot of park runs (5k’s) and am lining myself up for the Reading half Marathon in March . This is such a great friendly club, come and give us a go you won’t be disappointed.
