Heather Soden

Secretary

I joined Lostock AC around 8 years ago and was Membership Secretary for 3 years until 2025. My day job is as a Financial Controller and running allows me to de-stress after long days crunching numbers.

My running distances are usually around 10k on the road but longer on the trails, I personally prefer trail running to the road. I have participated in may races over the years, 10ks, half marathons, cross country and trail. I have loved them all especially when running with other Lostock members.

I also love to cycle and ski, I have been on all the trips organised by the club. I have made so many like-minded friends since joining Lostock, it really is a great club socially and for the running.

Tawd Valley Parkrun

Race report by Jo: Yesterday brought round five of our Parkrun Championships, and this time we took on the wonderfully quirky Tawd Valley. I can honestly say it is one of the most bizarre parkruns I have ever done. The whole thing felt like stepping back into my childhood, with Philip Schofield and Gordon the ... Tawd Valley Parkrun

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.
