Session summary:
We always start with a fun group warm up and then runners are placed into groups depending on ability. Beginners complete a run/walk session and whilst our 5K Improvers go for a 5K run.
Our sessions include teaching points on how to run and we always complete cool down stretches afterwards. We offer optional homework to all our beginner runners and if they attend every session and complete all the homework we expect them to be completing their first 5K in nine weeks.
All runners who complete our beginners programme have the option to attend a graduation parkrun with the #MileShyClub to complete their first 5K event. Once they have completed the run they will be presented with a celebratory goody bag!

Our Wednesday session

Cost: £2 a session, pay as you go, bring cash on the day!
Length of session: Usually an hour, but allow for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Session summary:
This session offers a 6K route with an additional 8K option if you’d like to stretch yourself. Please rest assured we would never push you to run in a way that is outside your capabilities which would increase your risk of injury.
These sessions often focus on building up endurance, introducing speedwork and technical training to help prevent injuries. Like our other sessions, these sessions include a structured warm up before the session and cool down stretches afterwards.
We occasionally take these sessions on trail in the dark and ask attendees to wear head torches. We advertise in advance on whether we will be running an off-road head torch session so please do check out our Facebook group for the latest update (or contact us using the ‘Contact Us’ button above.
