Women donning their ladies running clothing and preparing for the Paisley 10k race are being urged to take part in a series of training sessions.

The Jogging Buddies running group wants to help people get in shape for the race, which is set to take place on Sunday August 29th.

Irene McDonald, spokeswoman for Jogging Buddies, told the Paisley Daily Express that now is the ideal time to start training for the race.

"There is plenty of time to get fit enough to run your first 10k if you make a start now. The sessions are friendly and fun and are run by qualified jog leaders," she added.

Sessions are being held for both beginners and experienced runners.

Novices can join in the fun at the Lagoon in Paisley from 18:00 BST today and the more experienced can take part in runs starting at the Lagoon at 18:00 and Gleniffer High School at 18:30.

Earlier this month, women across the US took part in National Running Day, which is held on June 2nd.
