I went to two meetings without the subject ever coming up and really felt out of place. Barely anyone came up to me and my wife to introduce themselves, find out about us, etc. Needless to say the idea was put on the backburner and was never really brought up again..

This isn't directed towards anyone specific but why expect faster people to slow down? They're training too. I can understand helping the newer people for a run once a week or something but an entire group cannot possibly run at the pace of the slowest runner am I right? People just have to find runners or running groups with people who run at their same pace. That's probably the best bet. I still run a bit slow for the longer distances but for medium distance runs I run with a running group which I didn't join until this year because I spent the last year training to be a little faster so I could be a part of the team. For me to be apart of there team. Not them be a part of mine. Like I said, I'm still a little slower but I can push a bit harder for the medium distance runs and for my half way point in a marathon I did in December I got 1:49 which isn't bad. I'm working on getting better and better so I can run the longer runs with them also. I think it's up to us to get to where we want, not others to put themselves on hold for us. That's how I feel. But a running club that advertises a certain way I might feel differently about that. Anyways good luck to us all. It takes a long time to increase speed but slowly but surely it's worth it to me.
