Sign up and Get Into Running

Whilst all of our groups can cater for all abilities, we do appreciate that starting out running for the first time can be a daunting prospect for someone who doesn’t run or might be struggling with their running fitness. If you fall into this category then our Get into Running course & schedule might be worth considering… 

Join the training sessions

Our Get into Runing course takes place over 6 or 7 weeks and are held sporadically through the year.

Achieve your goal

The course is also structured to build up your endurance steadily over the 6 to 7 weeks so that you can go from little or indeed no previous running to being able to run your first 5km.

Everyone welcome

Group Sessions

Every session includes general & running specific warm up exercises to help improve your conditioning & mobility as well as developing your running technique. The course is also structured to build up your endurance steadily over the 6 to 7 weeks so that you can go from little or indeed no previous running to being able to run your first 5km.

Our course is open to both men and women and will take you from no running or limited running to being able to run 5km (occasionally other similar distances) over a period of 6-7 weeks. If you are someone who runs already and able to run 5k but would just like to join others for training then you might want to consider one of our other weekly group sessions. If however you are someone starting out from scratch or you are finding running for any length of time a challenge and would like to be part of a group that is purely made up of people in the same position as you, then our Get into Running course is likely to be the best option.

with a third optional session to do in your own time. All group sessions are led by a team of experienced running coaches including Lee, Nicola, Paul & Ulrike.

Generally training will take place at the Footes Lane Stadium athletics track for our sessions on Wednesday evening sessions (particularly during the winter as this provides us with a traffic free and floodlit area). Our Saturday morning group however takes place from a variety of locations around the island (members should check communications each week for details) this can involve hill work, grass based or other offroad sessions.

”Thanks Lee and thank you for all your support these past 6 weeks. I literally have gone from no running to 30 min and a lot of it is down to the support of the group. I am actually looking forward to Saturdays Parkrun and ticking that final box! – Emma

”Many thanks to Lee and Nicola for great advice and encouragement. Met some fun people. Really enjoyed it” – Andrew

”I found the Get into Running training course very worthwhile as it provided me with a framework to build my endurance gradually withou feeling any pressure to do anything beyond my current ability. It provided a great opportunity to get involved with other people of a similar fitness level without feeling intimidated” – Vikki
