With the new year just around the corner we find that many people tend to be looking forward to fresh starts and new goals.
In our recent end of month giveaway we asked you to tell us what your 2020 training, fitness, competition, challenge, healthy lifestyle goals were and we were overjoyed by the responses. You guys have some seriously awesome plans for next year!
At Macclesfield Performance & Run Macclesfield we too, have some really exciting plans for 2020 and we are chomping at the bit to get them rolling in the new year. We are saving some of the bigger and newer things for another day but today we want to tell you that our ever popular “Couch To 5km” course will be kicking off in February and we can’t wait to see our new runners join us for this one!
Run Macclesfield have been leading couch to 5km courses now since 2014 and each course has been a huge success. With fitness and running newbies of all ages and each with different reasons to attend, our new runners have all progressed through the weekly sessions and gone on to achieve great running routines, some even taking part in running events and challenges.
As the years have gone by our coaches and run leaders experience in leading these courses has meant that we have created a unique and highly successful course designed to help even the weakest and slowest of new runners, transform into 5km superstars.
We’ve created a course for you!
Each individual not only builds up their running ability but they learn about their own running style and are educated on training from day one. Next year will be no exception and we have even added even more to our course for your enjoyment and to help you with your achievement.
Movement screening and biomechanical assessment with Run Macclesfield coach Emma and MP Sports Therapist Tom.
Once booked all attendees will be invited to our C25K introduction evening. You will get to meet your course leaders and others that have booked to start with you. Have an opportunity to ask questions, learn about the course and our facility, have help deciding what clothing/footwear you will need, meet with our in house sport therapist Tom and talk with him about any concerns you have and even have a biomechanical screening in preparation for your new 8 week running programme. We will help you set off on the right foot (pardon the pun) to ensure you get all you need from our C25Km course at Run Macclesfield.
What does the course involve?
Our C25km is a progressive 8 week course, under the tutelage of our UKA Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF) Richard. Who endeavours to offer you full support and programming during your learning period.
The support at our C25Km courses doesn’t stop with the bare bones of the session plans and weekly group runs. Your leader Rich is on hand throughout the 8 weeks to offer you all kinds of support and you even receive 8 weeks of “Core & Mobility” sessions to attend at Macclesfield Performance if you wish to as part of your course content amongst lots of other helpful hints and tips along the way - laying you the perfect foundations for your new found healthy hobby.
History has proven with all of our previous C25Km courses that by end of the course you'll be tackling the distance without a moment’s thought, a fully fledged and more than capable 5km runner!
Yes - YOU!
When & Where?
Your course content includes two coached runs a week, Monday and Wednesday evenings at 18:30.
