Runs as 4 week course

 A new running group for complete beginners is starting up in Southsea, giving you two options to get fit by the sea! It’s all part of the ‘Run in England’ scheme which is aimed at newcomers, or anyone who hasn’t put their tracksuit and trainers on for many years. This gives everyone the chance to take some regular exercise without feeling as if they’ve been left behind, as everyone will take things very much at their own pace. The group will build up gradually over ten weeks, by mixing walking and jogging and learning top tips for successful, comfortable running along the way.
Groups are about much more than just running, with members enjoying new friendships and a fun and sociable way to take regular exercise without the pressure of competition. Everyone is welcome to join up, whatever their age, size or ability, and a fully trained group leader will make sure that you’re well looked after and having loads of fun.
We'll run on Saturday mornings at 9am (giving you the rest of the day free!) and Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm. Saturdays is a new group, starting with week 1 of the plan and the Tuesday evening group is continuing, having successfully completed the 10 weeks - if you're not sure whether you're a beginner or continuer, please contact me to discuss!
If you’d like to give it a go or find out more, please contact group leader Alexandra Hemingway on 02392 734037 or at runwithalexandra@hotmail.co.uk and you can also find more information on the Run In England website www.runinengland.co.uk
