Couch to 5K

Get running with Kent Sport’s Couch to 5K

Can’t run or haven’t run in a long time? Give it a go with Couch to 5k!

Kent Sport is bringing back our popular Couch to 5K challenge for the summer term and we want you! With this programme being especially designed for people who have done little to no running, it’s the perfect way to start something new.

In this 12-week plan, you will work on your running and by the final week you will be running for half an hour or approximately 5K. You won’t be on your own as our enthusiastic staff will be with you every step of the way to help you achieve your target. This challenge builds in time and effort, so you’ll constantly be impressed with what you can do if you push yourself a little.

For this term, we have two sessions a week to support you in your goal of achieving the challenge. You are welcome to attend just one or both of the sessions each week.

Session 1

Starts Monday 12 May 2019, 17.10 to 18.00  – meet at Sports Centre reception (runs continuously for 12 weeks)

Session 2

Starts Wednesday 14 May 2019, 12.00 to 13.00 – meet at Sports Centre reception (runs continuously for 12 weeks)

Anyone is welcome. No experience necessary.

Please note the sessions include warm up, cool down, stretches and you therefore won’t be active for the full hour. No need to register just turn up, meet at the Sports Centre reception and off we go. Comfy clothing and footwear advisable.

Free for Gold and Silver members or join Kent Sport for £5 with Bronze membership and pay £2 per session.
