Page Park Daytime - Couch to 5K - Beginners Running Course

This New Year, are you planning on making a life change or just carry on as you have been?

Here at “Active in Life” we’re prepared to throw down the gauntlet and offer you the opportunity to improve your fitness, health, and well-being in 2022.

Some of our previous participants on the “Active in Life- Couch to 5K” made changes. Big changes for some of them. As a result, they’ve become fitter, lost weight and done things that they wouldn’t have thought possible. Whilst some of gone on to do local running events and even the ‘Virtual London Marathon’, others have used it as a platform to begin a healthy lifestyle, being able to do day-to-day activities that they struggled with previously.

Our local supportive courses are coached by local Run Leaders, many of whom started off like you and have grown to love the benefits of running.

Based on the NHS plan, we’ll take you from running for just 1 minute with a 90 second walk recovery, which is repeated 8 times on week 1, to running continuously for 30 minutes by the end of the 9-week course. To celebrate this, we go to a free ‘parkrun’ event, where you complete your journey by running 5km.

The FREE course consists of 9 coached sessions, with a further 2 sessions a week (DIY or with a new buddy from the course) away from the group. Upon completion you’ll have the pride of achieving your goal and being able to call yourself a runner.

What's more, if you are a past participant introducing a new participant to the course, we'll make the course FREE for you, so you can accompany your friend on the journey!

For the novice runner the course isn’t easy, nothing worthwhile in life is! But, providing you can walk for 20 minutes and make sure you do the 2 sessions in addition to the weekly coached session, it is achievable for most people. We’ll even post a walking plan to get you in the best position to start the course.
