Beginners

Getting your running started, is tough. So it can really help to know that you’re going about it in a sensible way, getting into good habits and are part of a “team” of others going through the same thing. These courses are aimed at getting you from not being able to run for more than a few minutes at a time, to being able to run steadily for 20 to 30 minutes. You might also like to consider a 5k Parkrun on completion of the course, to put your stake firmly in the ground!

The 6 week courses consist of one session per week plus homework (additional runs and exercises as part of an overall fitness plan). The first session of each course,  is a run plus theory session lasting about 1.5 hours. Each week we focus on a different aspect of running, to help you to get into some good habits and to avoid injuries

• what you wear, including trainers & bras

• how to run

• healthy eating

• strengthening your body

• flexibility & stretching

• the importance of rest & recovery

The course cost includes annual membership of runnyhoneys (for this calendar year), your walk-to-run programme, 6 theory sessions with handouts, 2 fitness tests (before and after) and a lot of friendly guidance and advice.

All courses are led by a qualified Run Leader or Coach.
