Here's part of what's in the next Vetrunner:

• A good training group is characterised by friendship and by healthy relationships.

• A good training group gets together regularly for social events, not just for exercise.

• Mutual support is a way of life in such a group. There is often someone in the group who is disappointed, injured, tired or just plain overworked. A good training group supports such a person.

• A good training group sees new people joining it constantly. It is an open group, not a closed group.

• A good training group sees experienced athletes passing on knowledge and wisdom to newcomers.

• A good training group contains generous people, mature enough to contribute to others’ improvement as much as or more than their own.

• A good training group wants to celebrate the achievements of any group member.

• Each person is a student, and any person can be a teacher by contributing their experiences.

• In a good training group there is a clear understanding of the purpose of each training session.

• There are realistic expectations for performance outcomes.

• The group is attractive: people who are not in the group like what they see and want to join.

• Good communication is a key feature of a good group.

• The commitment of members to their group grows from their desire to participate in the group, rather than from any external pressures. 

• And of course, each person’s fitness and health is enhanced by being part of such a group.
