This is a programme for anyone who cannot run 5k without stopping.
We aim to get you there.
A bit like the NHS couch-to-5k programme. This 8-week programme will start you running at 1.5 minute intervals and building to a full non-stop 5K.
The course is inclusive and our volunteer leaders support runners of all paces - usually leading out at 12+ minute miles up front and 14+ minute miles at the rear.
As a guide, Week 1 of the course will see you running in 90 second intervals for around 20 minutes, with walking breaks. Running intervals widen each week, building up to 25 to 45 mins of running, depending on how long it takes you to run 5k
Tuesday evenings meeting from 7pm at Talacre Centre, ready for a 7:15 sharp start. Runs take place around Kentish Town, Primrose Hill, Camden and Hampstead Heath.
All runs finish back at Talacre for refreshments provided by the club.
