David’s Shifts on the Run

Way back in February, I set up a Couch to 5K group following successful completion of my Leadership in Running Fitness last year. Despite having no takers at first, I eventually had a lovely lady join me, followed by another local friend.

Persistence has paid off and my current maintenance manager has joined me having recovered from surgery he had back end of last year. Fast forward to tonight and I’ve had five people join me in a Couch to 5K session round Elmdon Park in Solihull. Everyone completed the session with most of them carrying on with me to make up the 5K distance. Hopefully this will become a regular thing for them all - the smiles in this photo certainly showed that. Mind you, this was taken during the first part of the warm up. Needless to say, they were all tired at the end.
