Coaches

Most running schedules for beginners are the same; they move you from walking, which you do already, to running, which anyone can do if they have the determination.

The difference between walking and running isn't speed or biomechanics. It's determination.

If you have the determination to stick to a simple programme, you'll soon be a runner. It won't be long before you learn that the beginning of your life as a runner just might be the most exciting time in your entire running career. Of course, you won't necessarily realise that at the time. It may take months before you can look back and see your progression as a runner.

It is the beginning of a great adventure. In many ways, beginning to run is a declaration of personal independence. A statement that says 'I have decided, nonetheless, to improve my phyical fitness.'

Later, of course, you realise that running offers so much more than a flatter stomach, more muscle tone, and a longer and more energetic life. For most of us, body and soul tune in to this stimulating activity we call running. Running strengthens the body whilst it soothes the soul.

So what are you waiting for? The sooner you get started, the better.

Come along to the Club on a Friday at 6.30 pm. See you soon.
