Striders at the start of a 5k seafront race

By Tom Roper

On Wednesday 5th April we’ll be tackling week 3 of Couch to 5k. Thanks to everyone who turned up last week for week 2, and especially to Emma, Hilary and Terry who helped lead the group. It was lovely to be out in daylight for most of the session, and to be able to run on the grass as well as the road.

Week 3 has us running for longer. After the usual 5 minute walking warm up, we’ll run for 90 seconds, walk for 90 seconds, then run for three minutes and walk for three minutes…and then we’ll do it all over again, followed by a 5 minute cool down.

Meet at 7 pm at the Downs Leisure Centre.
