This is the week when we have new people come and try gentle walking and jogging sessions with us in deciding whether they’d like to start our next Couch to 5k Programme on the 25th of October.
Walkers Week was a huge success despite the weather as over 60 new walkers came to try sessions with us.

All runners meeting at the Prestbury Park Playing Field
12:10pm for the lunchtime group
6:30pm for Beginners, 7, 8 and 9kph groups
6:40pm for 10kph+ groups.
Warm up with the standard 30sec fast, 60 seconds back for 5 reps followed by our standard stretches. You can do this on the grass, out of the way of those already using the track.
For the main set we’re back to 400m fast, 90sec slow x 9-11 reps. I’ve provided a range as those in the slower groups will take longer to run each rep.
Below you’ll find a target speed to aim for in the first half of your workout. If you’re feeling good in the second half then you’re welcome to speed up.
Here are some details specific to your group:
7s complete 9 reps aiming for 8kph on the fast periods
8s complete 9 reps aiming for 9kph on the fast periods
9s complete 10 reps aiming for 10kph on the fast periods
