Stainland Lions Running Club Beginner Course 2017

The Stainland Lions Running Club Beginners Course 2017

Online Entry Page

Every year the Stainland Lions Running Club organizes a Beginners Course in order to encourage running in fun and friendly groups.

We welcome people of all abilities and experience. During the course we will group together people of similar abilities, giving everybody the appropriate levels of support and encouragement to eventually run with the club.

Each week we will gradually increase the distance you run, it’s amazing what you can do in a few short weeks. Some of our beginners are complete novices, others exercise regularly at a gym or at exercise classes whilst others have run on their own or with friends and are looking to experience running with a club. For some this is an annual fitness regime to kick start them into the summer.

Whatever category of runner you fall into, we invite you to come along to the 2017 Beginner’s Course to improve your fitness, your running abilities and hopefully making some new running friends. If you are a non-runner or are running up to 3 miles this could be the course for you.

The majority of the training runs will take place on hard tarmac or along the canals but as the weeks progress you will be introduced to hillier routes and off-road routes.
