FitFun Couch to 5k Free Community Course Streatham
FitFun Couch to 5k – Free Course For The Community
Have you ever thought about taking up jogging but would like a little extra help? Our FREE community FitFun Couch to 5k course could be ideal!
FitFun Couch to 5k is a community engagement initiative. Our experienced team of professional coaches are here to help locals improve their health. We do this in 10-week blocks, supporting participants through a well-designed programme of training. The plan begins with short interval jogging mixed with extended walking. Over the weeks, we lengthen your running time and reduce the walk phase. Eventually, building up your fitness to run 5 kilometres.
Who Is The Course For?
The Couch to 5k running structure is a popular method of getting less active people to exercise. It also enables former runners to get back into running safely, as well as non-runners to start from scratch. But even still, at FitFunActive, we know just how hard it can be to lace up your trainers and head out of the front door. Without further guidance and support, motivation can wane, which inevitably is where many give up on their exercise goals. Quite the opposite, our course has helped hundreds of people over the years to build up or regain their running capabilities in a safe, educational, and motivational manner. Therefore, we take great pride in our FitFun Couch to 5k course.
Why FitFun Couch to 5k Works?
We at FitFunActive are invested in providing accessible exercise opportunities within our community. Furthermore, we regard 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. We have witnessed the transformation in confidence that our well-structured training has on people. Partly because we emphasise starting steadily. So, as a result, your body and mind adapt better. We believe this approach minimises the risk of injury by slowly introducing prolonged impact exercise. In addition, you build confidence early with small, easily attainable jogging targets. As the weeks progress, so too does the demand on the body. For example, in the first week, we commence with one-minute jogging intervals. In week two, you’ll be expected to jog for 2-minute intervals.
Our work has continuously inspired people to take their fitness to another level. Thus, our FitFun Couch to 5k course could be the foundation you need to build or rebuild your fitness. We have a proven track record of helping beginners become confident runners. With that in mind, why not join us and be a part of an ever-growing exercise community?
When Does The Course Start?
The course begins on Thursday, 11th January 2024, and runs over a 10-week block. Each Thursday, we meet at 7pm for our group run on Streatham Common. In addition to the Thursday evening runs, we will support your progress with a 10-week training programme. On this plan, you will be encouraged each week to do a couple of independent workouts in your own time. Finally, the course will culminate with a local park run on Saturday 16th March 2024 at 9am.
