Easy laps of Highbury Fields, then the pub
Relaxed is the whole point here - a free, sociable group built for newer runners, where the easy run is really just the warm-up for the drinks.
We meet Thursdays at 7pm outside The Horatia, then jog an easy ~5km (three loops of Highbury Fields) before heading back to the pub. Beginner-friendly, properly no-pressure, and the social side matters as much as the miles.
The most reliably Islington-based group going. Sign up via the Meetup page and come along on a Thursday.
