Registration open's on Friday 6th September!!!
***Please note you only need to register for one course, register for the first course that you would like to attend, ie Walk to Jog and your registration will just roll over onto the Zero to 35 course if you would like to continue.******
Have you ever wanted to be able to run? Does being able to exercise for FREE anytime, anywhere appeal? Does running just seem a bit too hard? Have you struggled to find a group to join due to timing being difficult?
**Run4Life is organising a 4 Week Walk to Jog course and Part 1 (6 weeks) of our Zero to to 35 running course aimed at complete beginners at The Netham Park in Lawrence Hill.
Walk to Jog (4 weeks) for complete beginners:
30 minutes of walking introducing very short jogs helping you to establish a three 30 minutes a week walking routine which will get you ready to start our Zero to 35 Course
**Starts Monday 23rd September 2019 7.30pm, running weekly until Monday 25th November 2019
Zero to 35: starting to run
Try it out with a Taster Session: Is this something that you would like to do but are a bit worried that you can't? Then come and try our Session 1 - a gentle 'Intro' without committing to any more sessions, if you like it you can join us the next week for the rest of the course. ;-)
Week 2 then starts, alternating 60 seconds jogging with walking. Over the 6 weeks we will take you up to being able to run for 8 minutes, then walk for 5 minutes before running another 8 minutes - an amazing achievement and halfway through the whole 12 week course which takes you to running for 35 minutes/ close to 5k!!
This course brings together like-minded people to make the journey together over the weeks.
*Sessions start at 7.30pm, giving you time to get back from work/ put the kids to bed first.
**Aged 13 plus, so feel free to bring your teenager and do the course together!!
***You can sign up for the Walk to Jog, the Zero to 35 Taster Session and then transfer onto the course or the whole course - your choice
*****The group meet at the main entrance to the Netham Pavilion.
********Each week we provide you with a different exercise to try which will help strengthen key running muscles and help to prevent injury.
What happens?
The sessions last 45 minutes to an hour, we start with a warm-up and some mobilisation to get ready to start the session, which will be a combination of running and walking. As the weeks progress the jog/ run times become longer and the walk times reduce. We end with a cool down and a stretch. Feel free to ask your leader any questions at any time. You will be provided with a running plan, and will need to aim to do 2 more run-walks (homeworks) a week to help you get to your goal. Why not meet up with one of your new running buddies and tackle it together?
If you have a holiday planned, don't worry just take your trainers and the plan and you can do this on holiday and keep up with the group.
You will be given access to our friendly Run4Life Bristol Facebook group - a closed supportive community for all past and present course members. (when the course starts)
So sign up today, and tell your friends. All you need is a pair of trainers!!
