Running Club

Running Groups
We have 3 levels of running group and a walking group:
- Walkers - For all ages, this fun and friendly group is a great way to start!
- Absolute Beginners – no previous running experience required. Our coaches will gently guide you safely through from ‘can’t run, won’t run’ to actually enjoying your running experience and even progressing you through to the next levels.
- Intermediates – perhaps you were fit once or even a runner, or have reached a level of running or fitness and want to develop this further – try this group to increase your performance by progressing both your speed and distance.
- The Runners Group – join fellow runners and ‘fitties’ for longer distances, speed work and challenging routes. Our coaches have the routes and drills to keep you on your toes…
Running Club Team
Mo Mclean (aka Slow Mo)
Mo is our coach for the Evolution beginners group. She has been keen on sport, health and nutrition for many years and regularly attends classes such as yoga, body balance, aerobics, body combat and kick boxing. Her other hobbies are golf and photography. She took up running five years ago and when training for the Windsor Half Marathon used to regularly run 40 miles a week. She has done two half marathons and numerous 10k and 5k charity races including Race for Life, Dorney Dash and Legoland.
Mo will always make sure her group have plenty of fun and will be very welcoming and encouraging to all new and current members! She is delighted that one of her lady members has lost three stone in six months since joining the Evolution running club. She is also our social secretary so get you party shoes on!
Jo Debs (aka Hot Lips)
Jo assists Slow Mo but takes the more advanced runners in the group. She is a keen netballer, as well as a member of the WSEH Athletics Club where she does javelin, running and hurdling. She is also a dancer and keeps fit by running away from all of the boys!
Jo has also won a number of modelling competitions and has a fantastic photographic portfolio.
Kevin Wallace
Kevin started the running club through lack of ability and following a serious knee injury which prevented him from playing football any more. He hated running on his own so decided to get a few people to run with him. The result is more than 150 members!
Kevin takes the Intermediate and Advanced groups and uses his personal training skills to vary the activities each week. He is a bit of a joker and often squirts his water bottle at unsuspecting passers by.
Dominique Held
Dominique is our Coach for the Intermediate group. She has been running for more than 3 years and has done a number of organized runs such as the Dorney 10 K and Peterborough Half Marathon.
Her Intermediate Group is run with German efficiency but FUN will always be first topic of the agenda. In order to make it interesting every week she tries to find new routes regularly, sometimes even on the way!
One of the goals of our running club is to help people to improve their running, So changes in between groups are welcome and encouraged. Dominique will always make sure that nobody stays behind and runs on their own so if you are not sure of your level but are not a beginner then this group is ideal for you!
Also in the team are Catherine and Peter Sams who take the walking group.
