Couch to 5K - Start Your Running Journey
You've taken the first step already.
If you’ve always wanted to run but never known where to start, our Couch to 5K course is designed for you.
Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, lose weight, meet new people or simply challenge yourself, our friendly coaches will guide you every step of the way in a supportive environment.
You don’t need any previous running experience, and you certainly don’t need to be fit before you join. We’ll help you build up gradually over eight weeks until you’re ready to complete your first 5K.
Who is the course for?
Our Couch to 5K programme is perfect if you:
- Have never run before
- Haven’t exercised for a while
- Want to improve your fitness at your own pace
- Are returning to running after a break
- Prefer exercising with others rather than alone
Whatever your age, background or ability, you’ll receive encouragement from our experienced coaches and fellow participants throughout the course.
