Gill Glegg
Walk to run groups
My intro as a club W2R leader happened some 6 years ago. After a lifetime of running there was a need to introduce a group for absolute beginners within SAC - Walk to Run was created. Six years on I am still part of the dream team (aka Simon and Jayne) and I still enjoy the nurturing and motivation we can offer to anyone wishing to join our group.
