Interesting point. Something I've not yet mentioned as it's still in I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it state is the rumoured start of the Reading parkrun. This is the weekly 5K Saturday morning tear-up series that goes on around the UK (Sweder does the Brighton one sometimes). I've already resolved that it if it really happens, I'll aim to make it a weekly event for me, with the usual running schedule moved around a bit to accommodate. Partly for the reason you state -- that it might help to get me lumbering a bit less slowly.
