South Leeds Sisters, the all women running club, are launching a new ‘Couch to 5K’ course to help people get more active.
Couch To 5K was developed by the NHS and is a proven nine week programme which will take you from doing little or no exercise to running 5 kilometres.
Week one starts with mostly walking and short intervals of jogging. You build up your running ability in a very controlled way each week.
There are three sessions each week, starting on Monday 13 May, led by a trained run leader:
- Monday 6:15pm Phoenix Bar, John Charles Centre
- Wednesday 6:15pm Overflow car park at John Charles Centre
- Saturday 9am Middleton Woods parkrun, Leeds Urban Bike Park.
The sessions are pay-as-you-feel and there’s a free gift to everyone who completes the programme. For more information or to book your place contact Holly Button holjwbutton@gmail.com or 07828 506023.
Hi Holly
Are the sessions still running, there is a few of us who would like to join; previously completed couch to 5k but not professional runners by any means !!
Thanks Sherrelle ( Carr Manor )
South Leeds Sisters hold a training run every Monday (6:15, Phoenix Bar, South Leeds Stadium) and a social run every Wednesday (6:15 ususally from the JCCS overflow car park)
Hi Jeremy
Is one group better than the other for beginners ?
Thanks Sherrelle
I believe they’re very welcoming of all. You should probably contact them directly via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southleedssisters/
