Improvers Course

Improvers' course

What is it and who can join?

After our 5k Beginners' course, we offer this course to help you run continuously for about an hour.

During the sessions, timed interval running is mixed with walking recoveries. It is all at 'conversational' pace to build fitness without incident or injury.

The course is open to those who completed our 5k Beginners' course, those new to running who have a reasonable level of fitness already, and those who run regularly who would like to run socially, with others.

If you can run comfortably for 30 minutes, you are welcome to take part. 

How much does the course cost ?

The course is free to existing members.

How can I join?

Members should request to join the WhatsApp chat called 'Improvers Course' within the Striders Community.
