Our Couch to 5K course is designed for complete beginners or anyone
returning to running. If you feel too slow, too old, or too unfit,
don’t worry, if you can walk, you can run. You’ll be supported every
step of the way in a welcoming and encouraging environment. The
course is led by an England Athletics–qualified coach and
experienced run leaders. We ask participants to commit to the full
programme and aim to complete a couple of additional runs each week
at home. Along the way, you’ll learn simple techniques to support
your running development.
