I am desperately looking for someone in the same situation as me.
I have walked loads before but have never ever run. I have absolutely no motivation to run on my own so am looking for another running novice to start to train with me, maybe starting with the couch to 5K programme.
I live in Hove and work flexibly so can fit in with you most of the time. I am looking for someone who would like to give running a go, maybe 3-4 times a week.
Thanks
Lou

    There is a website that you can use to match running partners. You put in your location and level. Can't remember its name but you may find it by googling.

    If you can't find anyone - don't use this as an excuse. Couch 25k is great. If you search it on here you'll find loads of apprehensive people who now love running.

    Thanks for your suggestions Jaz.
    I have googled but can only find running clubs for experienced runners of beginners groups that want to charge you to teach you to run! I'm not paying for it, I just want a partner!
    Hopefully someone else will be up for it!

    Is Jogging Buddy the site you were thinking of? I haven't used it myself but there are plenty of people listed in Brighton. You can find it here:-
