Running

RUN WITH US!



Fresh air and free! What more could you want to help with your fitness regime? The running group meets every Saturday morning in Preston Park for a 60-75 minutes session of short runs, sprint work and circuit training. Over the course of the session you will normally cover between three and four miles interspersed with various upper body strengthening exercises. We to make the session as sociable as possible so there are no long runs involved and everyone works at a pace according to their own abilities and determination.

Members of the group have been inspired to take part in various races from 10k to the recent Brighton Marathon.

It has been proven that running helps with a feeling of wellness through the release of endorphins into the bloodstream and many of our regulars now go out on runs together or individually during the week to build and improve upon their running skills.

Our other main scheduled sessions are a brief 40 minute tempo run on the sea front at Hove Lawns & Lagoon on a Wednesday evening.

During the summer on a Monday evening there is the opportunity to do a three or five mile run over the Downs at Stanmer.

Saturday sessions start at 10:30 and the midweek sessions at 18:00.

BLAGSS at Pride

BLAGSS marched in the parade, wearing our brightly coloured BLAGSS T-Shirts. This year's theme was Pride & (No) Prejudice, so we were be holding masks of well known lesbian and gay athletes who are proud of their sexuality, even in what can be a difficult environment.

We were also in Preston Park, where anyone could find out more about BLAGSS, join or renew their membership and buy a BLAGSS t-shirt, with our traditional Pimms party from 4pm.
