Clive Worthington

Chairman

I have been a member of Lostock ‘AC’ for about 20 years joining the club as a fell runner, cyclist, swimmer with a lot of outdoor experience sailing, canoeing, climbing, caving mountaineering from being a Scout leader for 18 years before that. As I joined Lostock the club needed a road leader coach so I took over this role for a number of years. As I took over as Chairman the first time I could see ‘AC’ after Lostock which was a Running Club only at this time.  AC = Athletic Club time to expand our horizons. I encourage the committee and members to start the Triathlon section with cycling and swimming sessions and expanding out to any other outdoor activities. We now organise cycling and ski holidays encouraging members to try other sports eg paddle boarding and boot camp gym work. As well as our core sport Running Road, Fell and Cross County . I am proud of the club and all its members who all support and look out for each other.

I still run short distances but mainly cycle these days. I was never one for competing or racing but now retired I am out most days ‘playing out in sport’

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
