Running is a great way of keeping fit, beating stress and making friends. For several years now, Abingdon AC have been offering running-from-scratch courses, which take beginners from running a minute at a time to running several miles in one go.
This spring we will start a couch-to-5k course (the Silver course). It is led by club members who are qualified Leaders In Running Fitness, and aims to get beginners running regularly as part of a large established group of runners.
We have found that the most important factor in people keeping up their running is making lots of friends who also run and taking part in regular group runs.
Session length: 30-45 mins
Meeting place: Tisley Park building foyer - 6:50 for 7 p.m.
Course length: 10 weeks
Target distance: ... 5 km (3.1 miles) ... so you can do... 5k events including the weekly Abingdon parkrun.
Training: Warmup, walk/run (run segments gradually increasing) along the wide footpaths in the vicinity of Tilsley Park, cooldown, stretching.
Cost: Free!
