walk2RUN Saturdays !

Following our successful launch last week where 20 of us tackled Herrington Country parkrun 👍tomorrow the real FUN starts with the 8 weeks of training 👊

We have 2 sessions available:

8am and 10am both meeting next to Love Lilly in Herrington Park ❤️

The sessions will consist of various running based drills and tasks to provide a gentle introduction to running, building confidence and stamina in an encouraging and non judgmental environment 💪

Several of our Friday night squad have moved into the Tuesday night Improvers session and 2 of our ladies completed 7K this week with just some very short walking breaks 👊

One of them making the personal decision that she’s no longer a beginner 🥳

🫵YOU could be next🫵

So if you are looking to start or restart your running journey please come and give us a go🙏

A great turnout for our first Saturday morning walk2RUN session👍

For our icebreaker we All did Herrington Park Run together 👊
For many it was their first ever Park Run but they All accepted the challenge and performed extremely well 💪

We now have 8 weeks of training before we return to Park Run again to see how much progress they have made. We expect most/All to have made significant improvements ❤️

Do you want to start your running journey 🤔or perhaps you run already but are stuck in a bit of a rut🤷‍♂️Come along and give walk2RUN a try.
