Think you can’t run? Surprise yourself! #MakeYourMove

Just because you don’t run doesn’t mean you can’t. If you can walk for half an hour, chances are that you can pick up the pace and give running or jogging a try.

The University of Kent is bringing you the Couch to 5K programme. It has been especially designed for people who have done little or no running.

In this 11 week plan, you will work on your running and by the final week you will be running for half an hour, or approximately 5 kilometres.

You won’t be on your own as we have our enthusiastic Run Leader, Barry Hopkins, who 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.

Starting on Wednesday 11 October 2017, 12pm to 1pm, the one hour session includes warm up, cool down and stretches- so you won’t be active for the full hour. The 11 week programme finishes Wednesday 20 December, just in time for your Christmas break!

No need to register just turn up and meet at the Sports Centre Reception and Barry will welcome you. Comfy clothing and footwear advisable. The sessions are £1 per person (free for Kent Sport Gold/Silver members). Any questions please email us.
