Couch to 5k September – Community Project Brockley
Well, these last few months have been tricky for health and fitness! Where have you stood, or possibly sat, during the lockdown months? Many started with great intentions; out walking more, taking up Couch to 5K, doing home workouts and cycling. Alongside this, there seemed to be more ‘evening comforts’ than usual. But with lockdown coming to an end and all legal limits on social contact drawn to an end in June, it’s almost like we’re at the start of a New Year. Therefore, it’s a great time to focus on our post lockdown health and fitness!
With this in mind, we are proud to announce our FitFun Couch to 5k course, which starts on September 9th 2021. If you have thought about taking up jogging but would like a little extra help, our community project is ideal. In particular, we have a proven track record of helping beginners progress to become confident runners. Therefore join us and be a part of a post lockdown exercise community. Thus sharing in a journey towards greater health and fitness. This is a free project for which we are giving our time to invest in our community’s health.
Couch To 5K Challenge
We believe running to be a very accessible form of exercise. However, many of us find it challenging or avoid it out of fear. Especially when we feel unfit. On the contrary, we have witnessed the transformation in confidence that our well-structured training has on people. Furthermore, our work has time and time again inspired people to take their fitness to another level. Thus FitFun Couch to 5k course could be the foundation you need to build or rebuild in a post lockdown world.
When Does The Course Start?
The course begins on Thursday 9th September 2021 and runs for ten weeks. We will meet every Thursday from 7 – 8 pm, on Hilly Fields, until Thursday 4th November. The course will culminate with the Chase The Moon Olympic Park 5K on Wednesday 10th November.
What can you expect on the Couch to 5k Course?
We support participants through a well-designed programme of training. The plan begins with a combination of short bursts of jogging with extended walking. This stage is all about confidence building. Also, the gradual start allows your body to adapt better. With this approach, we minimise the risk of injury by slowly introducing prolonged impact exercise.
Requirements and Registration
To register for our couch to 5K, please fill in the form below. We have 60 places, but spots do fill up quickly on our courses. So do register early. This is a free course; however, there is a £22 entrance fee for the Chase The Moon Olympic Park 5K on 10th November. We hope and advise participants to try to make as many of the sessions as possible. But there is a requirement to attend the first three classes to complete the course successfully.
We are ready and waiting to help you reach your fitness potential in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
