C25K — COUCH TO 5KM

What does the C25K programme look like?

Our C25K program is coordinated by volunteers who want to share their love of running and see you succeed. It will be overseen by a designated member of the committee, who is supported by several Caldicot Running Club members. The session will start at 6pm on Monday.

The Caldicot Running Club members will lead a group session once a week over the course of 11 weeks. Whilst the C25K follows a structured programme, we recognise that everybody is different and people will progress at slightly different rates, so don't worry if you are feeling a little apprehensive! The Caldicot Running Club members will spread themselves across the group to ensure no one runs solo, and everyone gains support.

As we get to know you better after Week 3, you will be allocated into a pace group of other runners who are at similar pace, and a run leader will support each pace group. At each session you will be guided through a warm-up, the C25K walk/run and a cool down. The session will last an hour in total.

We will limit numbers to allow personal support. The plan is based on running 3 times a week, and we will provide guidance on how to carry out the other two sessions during your own time each week.

We recognise everyone's journey will be different, so we set up a private Facebook Group for C25K to allow ongoing support during the week.
