Walk to Run

There's never been a better time to chuck on a pair of trainers and head out for a run. You're not never too old, or too young or too slow to start running. This new edition course is suitable if you are new to running, returning from injury, had time off running or post baby. So what makes it 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 stronger for longer and ENJOY running through a holistic approach.
Oh and you get a qualified UKA run coach and personal trainer guiding you every step of the way.
