Would anyone be up for a morning run in Dulwich Park a couple of times a week?


I used to do Prambusters (which is great, by the way!) but it doesn't fit in with the morning nap now.


So now I'm running at 9am, but I keep finding excuses to have a rest. Wondered if anyone else would be up for a run with a buggy around that time of day - I need some motivation!


I'm not one of those sporty types, and I'm pushing a 14 month old so I do go at a slow pace - but I'd be less likely to keep stopping if there was anyone else there.

Verds - you go gal! Ps, there's a pramathon of sorts coming up, I must remember to send you the email as hopefully it'll give you something to train towards. I'm keen to do a bit of walk-I-mean-jogging (as hoping I'm coming to the end of SPD) and find the mircolite quite manageable.

Most Thursdays I drop the little one off at the childminders and then run a lap of Peckham Rye Park (inside park) which is a mile, then do a bit on the open air gym. About ready to increase distance now but do have to shoot off to work after so can't spare too much time - tending to do more evenings and weekends.


I set off about 9.15/9.20 from the gate on Colyton Rd and have the dog with me, but she can be on lead if need be (used to buggys and tends to ignore them anyway).


If anyone wants to join feel free. I'm not a 'natural runner' and would describe what as I do as slow but steady - have got so I don't have to stop and walk any more which is something!


You can text me on 07977 130318.

Oh yes, I used to always wheel mine to sleep at that age - if only I'd read the books that tell you not to get into the habit of doing that! But usually the motion sets them off snoozing.


Someone less amateur than me will probably have better advice on running with a pram. When we did Prambusters, Oriane who runs the class would always warn us to watch out for kids on bikes and dogs - and of course strap your baby in! And some of the pram wheels do wobble if you get some real speed up. Not that I do! Oh, and be gentle with yourself, so stop if it brings on bleeding. (oof, sorry to be graphic, but I didn't have a clue about all that when my baby was born.)

Thanks for your replies - I feel more motivated already!


Nappy Lady: I'm working this Thurs but will certainly join you another week.


Count: I'd definitely recommend trying Prambusters. I used to go on a Weds at 10.30 in Dulwich Park. It's a good way to start as you run for 100 metres at first, then build up when you get fitter. The exercises are good too, and it's very friendly.

Molly - going for a run tomorrow morning then? Just back from seeing my mom and went to gym classes with her all week so I'm keen to get going now! Can we leave the lead on and tie it to the buggy and he can drag S along instead? I'll drop you a text later. PS, thx for PM x

    • The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.
    • Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.
    • He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .
    • Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
