Couch 2 5K 2025 has started

Well, what a week.  Broseley Joggers 2025 Couch to 5k started on Monday night with a fantastic 36 runners looking to improve their core strength and graduate to a 5k run in 10 weeks. (32 runners, 2 Coaches, 1 run leader counter and 1 human sheepdog to keep the pack together)

With Mia Harrington, C25K Run Leader, leading the way around the streets of Broseley.  Even with the cold wintery weather, everyone here at Broseley Joggers are immensely proud to see everyone pounding the streets.

2.83km ran, average pace of 10.22km/hr with a total run time of 29mins 24secs.

Before each session, our fully qualified run leaders will guide you through the route, start a quick warm-up procedure and manage the registration lists.

The 2nd session began on Wednesday, with following the same route from Monday but in reverse. With it being the same route, it doesn’t mean it will feel the same when running. This session showed 30 happy runners were keen to continue their fitness route.

2.9km ran (Slightly more due to the amount of looping), average pace of 9:58 km/hr with a total run time of 28mins 54secs.

If anyone was unable to attend this week’s sessions, please don’t stress. Starting your training next week will not cause you to be behind, as the overall program is 10 weeks, there is plenty of time to join in.

If you are tempted to run at the weekend, please don’t stretch past what you have learnt this week ( 10 x 1 min runs with 2 min walks in between). With the cold weather about, remember to do a small warm up and watch your step on the slippery paths/roads.
