"Nervous before starting a new group but was quickly made to feel welcome and part of the gang." "Never thought I would say that I look forward to running twice a week." "Great experience love how supportive everyone is and how the run leaders interact so well with all runners of all abilities." "Love this group and I’ve enjoyed my Nordic walking lessons! We have had so many laughs along the way 🤣 Please come and give it a try, if it’s not for you, no problem. The group do other activities, from walking to social running. Nordic walking is probably the next best exercise to swimming. 80 to 90 percent of your muscles are impacted 👍👌 love it! O, and poles are provided!" "My experience as part of the c25k group far surpassed any expectations I had. I joined the group to help with my fitness and to increase my exercise as within the last year I've lost a significant amount of weight and felt to continue this journey I would need to put the exercise in. As my husband already ran in local park runs I saw the group and thought I'd try and who knows maybe we would have a hobby we could share together. Honestly though I don't think i thought I would ever complete it. From the first week I felt welcomed and not once did I feel uncomfortable even though I couldn't run for 1 minute back at week 1. Knowing I was starting a journey with others in the same situation really helped and together we shared our experiences tips and fears." "My experience in this group is amazing, all very supportive and help you to achieve every session, with a Moto of nobody gets left behind, love this group!" "Friendly runners, supportive run leader and fellow runners, and the group stayed together." "I joined on a couch to 5K and was quite nervous about being the newbie. How wrong was I, what an incredible group of people who quickly put me at ease and made me feel included. No amount of words could thank the group enough for making me feel part of the group and for putting all my fears and nerves to rest. I would advise anyone to give it a go!" "I have found it really helpful. I suffer with an illness, so was scared that I wouldn't be able to it, but with the guidance and support I have managed to complete the couch to 5k. The leaders were really helpful with guidance on how to improve and what to do if it was one of those days where it just wasn't going right. Fully recommended to all who want to give it a go!" "A perfect opportunity to join an incredible friendly group that helps everyone, so no one gets left behind. “This group is an amazing and the support from all is incredible, when I joined I was very nervous about it and I felt part of it as soon as I met everyone, all so friendly and approachable it’s like one big happy family, if you feel the same way as I do please let everybody know how you feel, before I joined I thought I would never complete the 5k or be in a social running group, you have truly been amazing to me with support to keep me going through everything x”
