RE:
Hi Sean. Your post got relegated by another made just after yours, so I missed this first time round. This is a great initiative and one that will help with physical and mental fitness.

If I can offer one piece of advice it's to encourage the feeling of the collective - meaning, to run at the pace of the slowest runner. This is harder to do as you crank up the mileage. You may have to split the group at a certain stage. But always make the whole group run together for the first two or three miles. Apart from making sure no-one goes off too fast - a real problem with distance running - this encourages feelings of belonging and togetherness.

I'd love to come out with you one of these days. Keep us posted on how things are going.
Lots of wise old heads in here.
