New Beginners Programme - Week 1

I post up the schedule for the beginners before we run - this way, if you can't make a session, you should be able to follow the group's progress whenever you can fit a run in.

Tuesday Week 1:

• Warm up
• Run 1min/Walk 1min repeated over 30 minutes
• Cool Down
• Stretching (calves, hamstrings, quads, shoulders)

Homework (if new to exercise):

• Repeat Tuesday's session once. Remember to control your pace - keep it gentle.
• If you can fit it in, one session of non running exercise (e.g. bike ride, walking, swimming) - this will bring you to 3 exercise sessions for the week.

Homework (if new to running but not to exercise):

• Repeat Tuesday's session once. Remember to control your pace - keep it gentle.
• Aim for 3 sessions of non running exercise (e.g. bike ride, aerobics class, swimming) to bring the number of exercise sessions to 5 for the week. Remember that running on the treadmill still counts as running, so if you do go to the gym, choose other exercises.
