How does it work?

Over 10 weeks you will be guided through 3 runs a week. One led run with our trained and experienced run leaders and two homework runs (don't worry about these there is often plans to meet up and run your homework runs with others in the programme or club).


Over the 10 weeks, you will be supported in slowly building up strength, speed and stamina to run for 30 minutes continuously. 


The course costs £35 as well as the 10-week programme you will also be a member of Netley Abbey Running Club until March 2025 so you can continue your running journey with us.
