Saturday 18 April marked another proud milestone for Health&Hustle as four new members officially graduated from our Couch to 5km programme at Kingsway parkrun. What a morning it was full of excitement, determination, and ultimately, achievement. From the very first session, this group showed commitment, curiosity, and a willingness to trust the process. By Week 5 Run 3, something clicked. Their confidence grew, their pacing settled, and the longer runs that once felt daunting suddenly became achievable. Every technique practised such as breathing, posture, pacing, mindset came together on graduation day. They did not just complete the course, they exceeded every expectation.A Community That Keeps Moving Forward
A huge congratulations to each of our graduates who are already continuing their journey, now training towards 10km events in September. This is exactly what Health&Hustle is about, taking that first step, building momentum, and discovering what is possible with the right support around you. We are incredibly proud of how far they have come, and even more excited about where they’re heading next. A special shout‑out goes to Nic Dowdeswell, who completed her Run Leader training during the course. Nic is now a permanent member of our run leader team, helping to deliver the programme and support future runners. Her energy, encouragement, and lived experience of the journey make her an invaluable addition to the group.No Time to Rest as The Next Course Begins
With barely a moment to catch our breath, we are already gearing up for the next wave of runners. Week 1 Run 1 kicks off on Thursday 23 April as we launch our second Couch to 5km course of the year. New faces, new stories, new goals and the same supportive, inclusive community ready to welcome everyone.
