• Depending on starting ability, for the first few weeks you will combine walking with running. For instance:
Week 1: walk 50 seconds and run for 10 seconds, then repeat
Week 2: walk 45 seconds and run for 15 seconds, then repeat, etc.
• The rate of increase will depend on your rate of progress. Who is running the course and why? The group will be lead by a qualified coach or run leader with experience in running fitness. The lead will be a member of England Athletics and is DBS checked. Updates:
