Welcome

This blog is to help organise running sessions, usually after work, for staff at ESH.

All are welcome and we are by no means Olympic runners and not limited to ED Staff - ALL are welcome.

The sessions (usually 30-45mins long) are intended to help get a bit fitter whilst enjoying the local scenery.

Beginners Schedule

This Schedule Should get you up to running about 5k from never having run (or being really unfit) in 9 or 10 weeks with minimal risk of injury (or giving up!)

 All should include a 5 minute warm up (brisk walk/stretches)

(Key: W=Week, m=minutes, R=Run, W=Brisk Walk, s=seconds)

W1: Three Runs 8x 60sR/90sW
W2: Three Runs 6x 90sR/2mW
W3: Three Runs 2x 90sR/90sW/3mR/3mW
W4: Three Runs 2x 3mR/90sW/5mR/2.5mW
W5: Three Runs:
           Run 1: 3x 5mR/3mW
           Run 2: 8mR/5mW/8mR
           Run 3: 20min Run
W6: Three Runs
           Run 1: 5mR/3mW/8mR/3mW/5mR
           Run 2: 10mR/3mW/10mR
           Run 3: 22mR
W7: Three Runs 25m
W8: Three Runs 28m
W9: Three Runs 30m

We will be working our way through the schedule, initially going at the pace of the slowest.  If enough people join we'll split into a "working up to 5k" group, and a "5k+" Group.

Our aim is to get at least 1 run a week in meaning you'll want to get another couple in during the week if you want to follow the plan above

Enjoy
