The YCF are running a Couch to 5k Challenge health campaign in the New Year. It is running alongside the YCF's current social running group on a Monday at 5.30pm.
A little bit about it:
Couch to 5K is an NHS health campaign which promotes a gradual increase in physical activity, in this case through a mix of walking and running, to reach an ultimate goal of being able to run a full 5K by the end. It is aimed at those not currently doing much physical activity or beginners wanting to learn to run.
The YCF are running a Couch to 5K Challenge, starting in the New Year of 2019 to inspire people to start some form of physical activity or encourage those who are already doing it to keep going, set new goals, try new things and challenge themselves!
The Couch to 5K programme will be 10-weeks long, and ‘run’ alongside the social running club (the YCF Running Club, aptly known as the #RoseRunners in honour of the famous Yorkshire White Rose) and is completely FREE to take part. Starting on Monday 7th January 2019 and continuing every Monday at 5.30pm for 10-weeks, it will aim to promote all the same mental, physical and social benefits as the #RoseRunners by creating a fun, friendly, motivating and caring group environment to enjoy exercise in! There will be England Athletics trained Run Leaders guiding participants through the programme and supporting the group all the way through to the finish line! What’s more, participants will get a free t-shirt and a step-by-step booklet to guide them through the programme as well as provide elements of learning to the course with each week having a slightly different knowledge based focus.
An information flyer is attached below.
