Would you love to be a runner?
Join me, give it 4 weeks and you might just surprise yourself. Step by step I will get you there - and you will actually enjoy it too.
In this course I change up how we have approached beginners running in the past and take the pressure off getting to 5k - the goal is to help you start running and fall in love with it!
This course is for you if :
- You have never run before and have no clue where to start.
- Or you have tried to run but get out of breath quickly and have to stop.
- You're overwhelmed by all the conflicting running advice on the internet.
- You are determined to get out the door 3 times per week.
- You would love to be able to out the door and run and actually enjoy it.
- You could do with support and a kick out the door some days.
- You want to learn how to make running feel easier and more fun.
- You are envious of friends and family who can turn up to parkrun and take part.

Buy as a gift :
You can also buy this course for someone else as a gift - I bet you know someone who would love to run, they just need a nudge and a little self belief.
How it works :
- It will be 100% online so you can do follow from anywhere in the world.
- All you need to do is commit to following along week by week and try your best.
- Time needed - 3 times per week getting out the door - but with no pressure on speed/distance!
- After a month you will be confident heading out the door for a run - with a smile on your face!
What makes this different :
So many beginners programmes are based on counting minutes and distance. They do work, but for many people the pressure to run for a certain number of minutes can be too much. We can give up because we dont feel we are progressing like everyone else. So this course takes all pressure off the clock and instead focussed on the actual enjoyment of running with no pressure to run fast or far. You dont even need to track your minutes!
Don't put it off
Now is the time to get running. Once you get going you will wonder why you left it so long.
