Think you can\u2019t run? Surprise yourself! Just because you don\u2019t run doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t. If you can walk for half an hour, chances are that you can pick up the pace and give running or jogging a try. This summer, Kent Sport is bringing you the Couch to 5K \u2018Fit for Summer\u2019 challenge; over 12 weeks you will work on your running, with the goal that by the final week you will be running for half an hour, or approximately 5K. The sessions have been specially designed for people who have done little or no running and you will supported by our enthusiastic staff, who will be with you every step of the way. This challenge builds in time and effort, so you\u2019ll constantly be impressed with what you can do if you push yourself a little.<\/p>\n

I did the improvers session this week which was great, the C25K had set me up nicely so that I could progress into that group, and I did a 5K run this morning, so well and truly back into a hobby I love. Many many thanks to all who are involved in organising it! I would highly recommend to others.”<\/em> – Vicky<\/p>\n Please note the 50 minute sessions include warm up, cool down, stretches and you therefore won\u2019t be active for the full session.\u00a0Comfy clothing, footwear and a water bottle are advisable.
