ANYONE who wants to start the new year with a new fitness regime can kickstart their best intentions by joining a sofa to 5k beginners course at Devizes Running Club.
Sessions will be run each Wednesday evening at 6.30pm from January 10 meeting at Devizes Leisure Centre. Club chairman Simon Gilbert said: "The sofa to 5k is a running plan developed to help absolute beginners get into running.
"Probably the biggest challenge a novice runner faces is not knowing how or where to start. Often when trying to get into exercise, we can overdo it, feel defeated and give up when we’re just getting started. Sofa to 5K works because it starts with a mix of running and walking, to gradually build up your fitness and stamina. The course is designed to create realistic expectations and making the challenge feel achievable right from the start. Sofa to 5K is for everyone. Whether you’ve never run before, or if you want to get back into being more active." Go to http://www.devizesrunningclub.co.uk/home/sofa-to-5k/ or email chairman@devizesrunningclub.co.uk
