A NEW running session is starting on the track at Tavistock College. The sessions, which are for ladies only. will be suitable for those who are new to running and for those who want to train for a specific event or for those who simply want to get fit and make new friends.

The sessions, which are for all abilities including complete beginners, will be held on Saturday mornings, from 9.30am-10.30am and will be coached by UK Athletics level three coach Dotty Allan on behalf of Tavistock Athletic Club.

Whether you want to run the Race for Life, a half or full marathon or simply want to run for pleasure, these sessions will help improve your fitness levels.

West Devon Borough Council's sports development officer, Hannah Colston said: 'It can be very scary joining a new running group, I remember the first time I went along to Tavistock Athletic, I was terrified I'd be miles behind everyone else but its just not like that, Dotty is supportive and encouraging and ensures every runner has a positive experience, whether you're a regular runner or totally new to the sport.

The cost is £2 to non-members and free to the ladies at TAC —all proceeds go towards the track. For further details email [email protected]">[email protected]
