New 6 week running course starting soon!

14 September 2019 - By Jodee Mayer

– Are you keen to run with Witham Running Club but lacking confidence to come along?

– Have you started your own training by completing a Couch to 5k or running at Parkrun?

– Keen to make the next step up in distance?
Do you want to know how to safely bridge the gap between 5k and a club run (around 5.5miles)?

If the answer to these is ‘Yes!’ then we might have the programme for you.

Starting Tuesday 22 October, a 6 week programme begins!

The programme includes:

– A coached run on Tuesday nights, gradually increasing in distance from 3.4miles (just over 5k). See dates below for the venues

– Coached warm ups and cool downs for Tuesday sessions, which you can apply in your own workouts

– Guidance on additional workouts to complete independently over each week

– Tips and guidance on running specific skills and techniques with a different focus each week

– A timed 5km on the Thursday of week 5

– A speed development session on the Thursday of week 6 to introduce you to different workout styles

– No obligation to join as a member after the course (but you would be welcomed if you do decide to!)

The course will cost £10 which is to be paid online before the start of the course. The cost of the course cost will be taken off of membership should you decide to join up as a member during or after the course. Due to our reduced membership fees for the later part of the year this means your membership would be free until 29 February 2020!
