If you're looking for a way to battle the dark days of winter with some good old fashioned exercise, but don't want to go at it alone, why not try out a running clinic?

There are multiweek running clinics starting up this month that promote physical fitness, camaraderie and will get you in serious running shape for when that big old bridge run comes around.

The Post and Courier has compiled a list of clinics that are accepting membership now, so go have a look and see if there may be one you fancy.
