Couch to 5k Running group - Daniel (19th Aug 2016 - 15:03:40) Couch to 5k Group Starting in September Have you been inspired by the Olympics - do you want to lose weight - do you want to improve your fitness but don't know where to start - whatever your personal goal is a Couch to 5k group will be starting in September in Liphook, meeting on a Monday and Wednesday evening at 6pm. This group will get you from not running at all to running a 5k in 11 weeks. The group will start with run and walk rests over the first few weeks, building up over the 11 weeks to complete a 5k. I am a qualified UK Athletics running coach who is insured and has the relevant licence to coach. Only 15 places available. For more information: Please contact Daniel at couchto5k@hotmail.com

Re: Couch to 5k Running group - Jim (22nd Aug 2016 - 11:01:27) Hi Daniel, sounds good - one question - is it Monday or Wednesday, or both each week? Roughly how long are you expecting the sessions to last? Jim

Re: Couch to 5k Running group - Anne (22nd Aug 2016 - 11:18:22) Claire, I did couch to 5K starting in January and it is a really fabulous way to "learn" to running, taking it very slowly at first and increasing each week. I was absolutely elated when I completed the 5K, and have done it twice since. Go for it, you'll be really energised when you've succeeded, and no, I'm not a fitness fanatic, anything but.

Re: Couch to 5k Running group - Daniel (22nd Aug 2016 - 16:34:41) Hi Jim Yes it is both nights with hopefully the athlete completing that weeks session once in their own time. the sessions in the first few weeks will be in total about 40 mins including warm up and cool down, in the later weeks the session will be nearer an hour. If your interested or have any further questions then please contact me on. couchto5k@hotmail.com

Re: Couch to 5k Running group - Daniel (20th Nov 2016 - 22:46:58) 11 weeks gone, and after only managing to be able to run for a minute without stopping, those that weren't ill or injured have just completed their 5k without stopping, some are now looking at longer distances incredible is all I can say and well done to those that are now on the rd to a more active lifestyle. Keep an eye out for another group starting in the New year.

Re: Couch to 5k Running group - craig (21st Nov 2016 - 10:41:54) when is this please.
