Couch 2 5K notes – updates

The return of the Broseley Joggers Couch25K sessions are just hours away:..

Hurry Up!

Here are a few things you need to be aware of. Broseley Joggers’ Couch to 5K program, starting on Monday January 6th 2025. We’re thrilled to have you join us on this exciting journey toward achieving your fitness goals.

The program is designed for beginners, and our supportive community of runners is here to encourage you every step of the way. Sessions will be held every Monday and Wednesday, 6:30pm (Session registrations will begin at 6:25pm in the Broseley Library Carpark, so please be there in time to help Mia Harrington (C25K Run Leader) with the role call.

Dress Code : We would recommend to keep an eye out on the weather forecast, we will run these event no matter the weather (unless it snows), but please do not wear heavy jackets if the weather looks too cold, as this will cause you to get too warm, a light jacket will be fine and will make it easier to carry once you have warmed up.  Running shoes don’t need to be expensive shoes, but they MUST be the correct size and comfy to wear.

If you  have a hi-viz or bright clothing it is recommended that you wear this, we will be running the streets around Broseley which should be well lit, but if you have a head  / running torch then that would be great but not essential to start with.  (Our run leaders will provide hi-viz bibs at the start of the sessions if required). We will not be running off road, so there is no need for trail running shoes and you shouldn’t get too dirty.

Team Leaders : All our Run Leaders are fully qualified leaders.  Please listen to the run leaders and take instruction from them at all times.  If you feel unwell during the sessions, please let our Run Leaders know, they will do everything they can to help you.

What if I can’t make all sessions? :  if you can’t make all the sessions each week do not despair, try and get out and complete a run similar to what you did in the previous session.  Please do not push beyond your current level.

If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out at info@broseleyjoggers.info.org .

We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your 5K goals!
