<p>What’s better than a runners’ high? A joyful jog with brilliant fellow women, we say. Whether you fancy meeting new pals in your area or shooting the breeze with your mates on a guided route, all-women’s run clubs foster motivation and community vibes aplenty, often for free (or very little). There’s no better way to hit that PB than with your crew cheering you on, and then toasting your achievements with some well-earned fizz/ pizza/ warm carbs afterwards.</p>



<p>Spring&#8217;s lighter evenings and mornings are the perfect time to lace up your sneaks and join a running club, and with the London Marathon looming on <strong>Sun 26 Apr</strong>, we&#8217;re feeling even more inspired to give these women’s running clubs in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire a high five. Get set for new adventures, excellent chat and workouts you can’t wait to do.</p>

<p>A women’s running group that’s gone from strength to strength since they first hit the streets two years ago, you’ll spot Oxford Girls Running quite literally running the show in central Oxford on Mon evenings (6pm from Westgate Social Street Food) and Wed mornings (a bright and early 6:30am at the Cape of Good Hope pub). The 5k social fun runs are a blast, and there are monthly 5k and 10k weekend runs too. They’ll set you up brilliantly if you’re <a href="https://bucksoxon.muddystilettos.co.uk/wellbeing/races-triathlons-marathons-buckinghamshire-oxfordshire/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">training for a race in 2026</a>, even doing your hair at the start-line should you need a hand, but if you just fancy a jog followed by an ice cream on a sunny eve, they do that too. There’s yoga sessions to stretch out those tight hammies, charity runs, themed 5ks (Swifties unite) and socials ranging from picnics to retreats. For miles and smiles, look no further.</p>

<p>Got a running goal in mind? England Athletics coach and women’s coaching specialist Linda Wheable has got you. A former swimmer who went on to master spring triathlons and half marathons, she knows a thing or two about prepping for fitness challenges. If that sounds like your jam, her ‘Challenge Me’ women’s running groups will get you firing on all cylinders. They’re split into three levels depending on your running pace and aim to prep you for competitions or events with like-minded women at your side. These eager beavers set off at 7am every Weds from Chalfont St Peter Infant School.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you’re after more of a leisurely jog with in-built camaraderie, the ‘Keep Me Going’ sessions are for you. Also split into three levels, there are various groups throughout the week that tailor runs to your experience and fitness aims, whether you’re just getting started, returning to running or progressing towards longer distances. And if, actually, you’d like to put on the brakes for a walk in nature, the free monthly women’s walking group will have you striding out and meeting new mates on a 3.5ish mile trail around the Chalfonts.</p>

<p>With groups across Bucks and <a href="https://berkshire.muddystilettos.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Berks</a>, this women’s running club covers a lot of ground. An annual membership fee of £20 gives you access to any group you fancy, but your locals are <a href="https://www.runningsisters.com/beaconsfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beaconsfield </a>and<a href="https://www.runningsisters.com/gerrards-cross" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Gerrards Cross</a>, and total newbies can sign up to a six or eight-week beginners course that starts with the ‘sisters shuffle’ – a super slow jog to get you in the groove. By the end of the course, you’ll be running three miles. If you’re there already, or can run at an easy pace for around half an hour, you’re all set to join the weekly running groups. Ages range from 18 – 88 and runs generally cover 3 – 5 mile distances, taking place in all weathers apart from snow and ice. There’s no better feeling than a hot shower after dashing across cobbled streets and countryside in the drizzle with your hype women.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you’ve got 3 – 5km jogs in your back pocket, you’re ready to join Wycombe Ladies. Qualified run leaders pre plan distances and routes beforehand and spur you on throughout, and as well as a warm-up you’ll begin each run with some core and lower body training to prime yourself for the pavements and terrain ahead. In short, it’s a free weekly 360º workout with ready-made buddies. As Wycombe women know, it’s a pretty hilly area, so expect big fitness gains from this one.</p>
