WALK TO RUN
Next course starts 26 September 2020
The popular NEW 2020 SHE ACTIVE 5k Walk to Run program is back!
There's never been a better time to chuck on a pair of trainers and head out for a run. Suitable if you are new to running, returning from injury, had time off running or post baby. So what makes this course any different to all the other couch to 5k plans out there? We focus on easy running aiming to build a strong foundation, improve aerobic fitness coupled with specific strengthening needed to run strong for longer and ENJOY running through a holistic approach. Oh and you get a qualified run coach guiding you every step of the way.
I've enjoyed running since school age, competing in events ranging from 100m track up to marathon as well as road and cross country racing at club level. I'm a qualified and experienced British Athletics Run Coach and Run Leader coaching at Striders of Croydon and Oxted Ladies Run Club.
