Here's what our members are saying ...
Thanks Katharine for responding and forwarding my question to Angela and Kate. They provided me with some really good, sound advice to think about and now I will set and implement some realistic goals and quit being so hard on myself.
I love R4W!

When I became a member I was recovering from a serious injury caused by a car accident. The support I got from the women on the forum was invaluable in my fight back to fitness.
I’ve gained in so much confidence and met some great people. It’s the place I come if I need support, encouragement or just a kick sometimes! Best of all it’s a place for just the girls!

R4W has made such a difference to my running and just about every other part of my life! Whether I need training advice or tips, encouragement and support, I have found it on R4W.
It’s a unique site, just for women and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Sarah UK
Since joining R4W, I have made many friends some of whom I have never even met and I have received more advice, friendship and motivation than I could ever have wished for. I have also achieved many things I once thought were not possible.
So a big thanks to all at Running4Women without you none of this would have happened.
