Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Calling all runners
Hi,
I'm often keen for a run during the day, and wondered if anyone else needs a running partner? Im a morderate runner 7-9min/miles. Would be good to meet other like-minded runners, that might be in the same boat.
I also wondered if anyone was interest in forming a Harringay runners meet up. I run a local business and am often wanting to break up the day with a quick run, but feel I would be better motivated if I had a partner(s). Im not proposing a group or club per se but perhaps a forum where people could meet and drop a line when they fancy going out for a run. The bigger the database the more likely a fellow runner will be around when you fancy a run.
Im sure there's an app for this!
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
Just in case you're not already aware of it, there's a 5km parkrun in Finsbury Park, Ally Pally and Highbury Fields every Saturday at 9am. It's free, you just need to sign yourself up at parkrun.orguk. You would meet lots of local runners there who might also be searching for a weekday running partner.

I could be interested in this as I work from home and need an excuse to get out of the house. Where are you based ?

I'm interested in this. Often need some extra motivation to go out for a run, and the peer pressure of meeting someone else always works! I don't often work from home, so it will be occasional weekdays, but some weekends and evenings good. Happy to meet up with someone doing 9.15-10.30 min/mile so if there's anyone out there at that pace let me know. In N15.

Fantastic! That all sounds perfect.
If people put :
- the times they are around
- their speeds
- and location
then we can make some runs happen!
Im around the south end of the Ladder, 7-8 min/miles, keen for any weekday runs - David@Bailiemartin.com
I know of the park runs and I think they are fantastic, but with other weekend commitments its nice to have got in a run during the week.
Thanks

I'm around between 9 and 2.30 every day.
I'm on Seymour Road on the Ladder.
I do 5K at around ten minutes per mile!

Hi everyone, Haringey Goodgym will be starting up over the summer (in July I think). We run somewhere, do something good (like going to a community garden to shift compost, or painting a wall, etc), then run back. There's also the option of having a "coach" - an isolated older person who you visit once a week. You provide company and they provide motivation, hence being called a coach.
Stay tuned for more news or sign up on the Goodgym website.
Oh yeah - it's free. Anyone can become a member and everyone gets a t-shirt. There's an optional monthly payment but no way of distinguishing between those who have paid and those who haven't.

Hi Sarah - I love this idea. I understand they were looking for a 'leader' in Harringay the last time I heard. Very much looking forward to getting involved when its all up and running! ha

Yes they are currently recruiting - there should be some more news on that soon!

I hope some of you can come along to future runs!

Thanks Sarah. Gutted I missed this. I signed up on the website and thought I might get a message. Will definitely be at the next one on Wednesday 29th.
