We will be running our beginners course for eight weeks from Monday 19th April 7.00 – 8.30pm location details

Bitterne Park,
SO18 1NQ

location details


The course sessions will not be held on bank holidays, and will run in total until 21st June 2010

We will have a mix of running sessions which gradually build up your stamina and expertise

We will have a set of speakers throughout the course who will give you insights into various aspects of running including clothing, safety, health and diet

We will have a final fun run for you to calibrate your progress

We will have a social celebration with food and drink after the fun run on the final evening or the course

We will help you prepare for the Race for Life or the Great South

We will welcome you to our regular club nights and club runs

We will give you a membership card which affiliates you to England Athletics and gains discounts at local sports stores and extends your membership until 31 December 2010

We will try to live up to our motto of running for fun, friendship and fitness

Meanwhile, why not take a look through the pages which were posted in association with the last course

As in previous years we will be providing an interesting programme of guest speakers to accompany a carefully crafted schedule of gentle training runs designed to help get you fit enough to manage a 5k fun run at the end of the course. Its a chance for runners to get to know the club and for absolute beginners to get into the running habit - so much cheaper than gym membership!

Its all good fun, and this will be the 16th year that the course has been held. There are experienced coaches plus plenty of already established runners from Running Sisters on hand to help get you up to speed.

"We have new runners of all ages, shapes and sizes join our course". says club chair Su White, who is also one of the coaches. "Our approach is really practical, giving down to earth advice and providing support from other runners who were themselves beginners a few year's ago. Our speakers cover topics like stretching, massage and physiotherapy, women's health, safe running, plus advice of diet, clothing and footwear. There is a fun run and celebratory supper at the end of the course, and miraculously we usually manage to get the weather to keep fine as well!"

Challenges

Some Running Sisters, not content with running, have given themselves the following challenges:


The Great British Swim: a mile in Royal Victoria Dock in London on July 3rd.
Here is the link: http://www.greatswim.org/Events/British-Gas-Great-London-Swim/


If you want to sign in go for the 2pm slot so that we will all be together.


The South Downs Way Challenge 2010
A walk on the South Downs from Queen Elizabeth Country park on Saturday 27th February.


Here is the link: http://www.bhf.org.uk/events-and-volunteering/events/event-finder/view-event.aspx?ps=1000598


If you want to sign in put Southampton Running Sisters as your team, and we have gone for the middle distance, 15 miles. (You can run it if you must run!) Or you could do a longer, or shorter distance.


Round the Harbours Bike Ride
A 32 mile cycle ride around the Portsmouth harbours (you can do 55 miles if you are a dedicated cyclist!) on Sunday 6th June.


Here is the link: http://www.bhf.org.uk/events-and-volunteering/events/event-finder/view-event.aspx?ps=1000645


Again, put Southampton Running Sisters as your team. We have gone for a Southsea start.


The last 2 are organised by the British Heart Foundation but you don’t have to collect sponsorship, though obviously you can if you wish.


It would be great if you could join us! Perhaps next year we should go for a triathlon!
