Couch to 5KM in 9 Weeks

Couch to 5KM in 9 Weeks
Are you looking for a challenge? Are you looking to be more active? Are you looking to run but feel you can’t achieve this? Why is this?

A lot of people have a desire to start running but getting over the first hurdle or even near the start line is a bridge to far.  The doubt of achieving or starting with a group can be some of the things that go through your mind and knocks your confidence before you start.

When you see groups going out and you wish you can be part of it, but your confidence holds you back, the best advice is to speak to some of the the group members about their experiences and their first time.
The Tuesday and Thursday running group allows all levels to be part of the experience.  We are not looking for athletes, but everyone is welcome no matter what their ability is.  When you join the group, you will find it is a supportive and friendly group.  As you get into the programme you will find your running buddy which is another part of your support network.

If you have never run before, we provide 1-2-1 coaching covering breathing techniques and posture to help you find your comfort zone.  Joining the couch to 5km programme is the perfect starting place.  We use the OneYou app, which allows you to continue to train if you cannot make a session.  From day one we get you to work through the programme at the same time covering the 5km distance on every session.  This will help members of the group get used to the distance.  

The success of this group over the years, has seen members not only achieve the 5km, but has seen individuals go on to achieve 10km and in some cases, half and full marathons.  We operate as a race at your pace, if your fast, your fast, if your slow, your slow................. just like the hustle, we set up the runs but you set the rules!
If you want to join the programme we meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm at Sanger House, Brockworth.  Parking is available and everyone is most welcome.  For more details get in touch and join the #C25K Crew.
