C25K - Begins 21st May 2019
Wrekin Road Runners are pleased to announce their latest C25k program.
The programme is aimed at all running abilities from beginners, those who haven’t done any for a while, to those who are maybe returning from injury – the C25K programme will work for you all.
Meet the Wrekin Road Runners team and your fellow C25k-ers at Telford Ice Rink starting on the 21st May 2019 at 18.15 and enjoy a chat and some fitness fun through the program to Park Run graduation on Saturday 20th July.
The programme requires 3 sessions per week – the Tuesday weekday sessions with us and then 2 on your own at a time of your choosing, culminating in a 5k.
No special kit is required, just comfortable t-shirt/long-sleeved shirt, and shorts or leggings, and some sports shoes.
The programme very gradually progresses you from jog/walking to the goal of running a full 5K (3.1 miles).
This structured approach is tried and trusted by many sport coaches and health organisations including the NHS and has proven to work. So don’t be daunted by thoughts of not being good/fast/fit enough the Wrekin Road Runners Coaches, Leaders, previous Wrekin Road Runners C25K participants and all of our WWR club members are all here to support and encourage you all the way through.
The entire programme costs £10 and if you graduate and wish to continue as a fully fledged member of Wrekin Road Runners (which we hope you will!) this goes towards your membership fee.
Places are limited so get registered today

What do I need to run?Make sure you have a suitable pair of trainers to run in.
You can buy all kinds of different trainers but the main thing is that you are comfortable in them. If you enjoy running and do it regularly you will want to buy some specialist running trainers. You can get these in local sports shops like Seatons, DW and Up and Running in Shrewsbury. They will allow you to try the trainers on a treadmill and help you get the right ones for you. For clothing we recommend you wear layers so if you get too hot you can take a layer off. |
