Well, Wolverhampton specifically... I'm a new member at the gym, but I had dallied a few times with the C25K programme - has anybody here completed it? If so, is anyone Midlands based and can advise some good places to run? I don't want to just do the same lap of the Stafford road!

    Nottingham. C25K is a good way of getting from walking to running, you should improve you time almost every time you go out...

    I'm in Birmingham, I'm not quite at the running stage yet, I do lots of walking though. I'm really close to the city centre & there's nowhere particularly scenic or free of pedestrians (or roads for that matter) that I'd dare run.

    Leicester here :bigsmile:

    Have tried a couple of C25k apps. Just started a new one Zombies 5k Run (http://www.zombiesrungame.com) which was recommended by one of my MFPals. So far so good, but then I've only done the 1st 3 sessions :bigsmile:

    I'm in Wolverhampton and did a C25K in Bridgnorth, now running in Wednesfield and Shifnal Telford.
    I'm doing a 10k in February (eek) around the Apply Estates in Shropshire.

    Depends how far from home you want to go, Bridgnorth is great because in includes the hills. I work in Shropshire so it was ideal for me on my way home.

    Well, Wolverhampton specifically...

    I ran the BBCHM (Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon) last year which was a 100% canal route between Wolverhampton train station and Brindley Place, B'ham. It's a pleasant, flat run that's quite scenic in places. Lots of muddy puddles to jump if there's been lots of rain but otherwise is a decent option.
