Running - Peckham Rye Common


BernieMat

Recommended Posts

Hi all,


I know there are a couple of running clubs in the Dulwich Park/Dulwich Village area, but there doesn't seem to be any organised groups based around Peckham Rye Park/Common, even though it's a hub for runners. Myself and a couple of friends are toying with the idea of starting something up, but I thought I'd send out a feeler first to see if the interest is there. The initial idea would be to meet a couple of times a week and go out in a couple of different groups running at different speeds/distances. It would just be casual to start off, but if the desire is there, we could start to going to a range of races together and organising car shares etc.


It would be great if I could get peoples thoughts, and obviously let me know if you think there's already a saturation of running clubs in the area.


Cheers,

Anthony

Hi both,


Yeah, I know about the Parkrun, but this is a weekly race. I was wanting to get a group of people who could train together regularly. But it might be a very good idea to make those who do the Parkrun aware of the group if we do set one up.


I've had a chat with a few people and no one seems to say it's a bad idea. I'll continue to do a little more research and update you if something gets off the ground.


Cheers,

Anthony

Hi, i have been searching for running groups around the Peckham Rye area (rather than formal running clubs). Did anyhing come about as a result of your february post Anthony?


Is there any interest from others in some sort of running group, whether as a beginner or training for events / races?

Thanks

Tim

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
