New ladies-only running groups starting in Petersfield and Horndean
Women who have set themselves a New Year’s resolution to get fit and lose weight have the perfect opportunity to work off their holiday indulgences.
New ladies-only beginners running groups are being launched in January to help people make a healthy start to 2012.
The ten-week programmes, held in Petersfield and in Horndean, are for women who are looking to get fit, have fun, and meet other like-minded ladies.
Also available are the on-going improvers running groups that take place every week and which beginners can filter into once they finish their ten week course. Both beginners and improvers groups are run and managed by Jan Bull and Tiffany Eneas, qualified UK Athletics running coaches.
Louise Christie, Active Lifestyle Co-ordinator at East Hampshire District Council, fully endorses the programme: “This will be the fourth beginners group in Horndean and the fifth in Petersfield since its launch last year. Each time these new, instructor-led groups are advertised there is great demand for them.
“It shows that many women would like to go running but simply don’t have the confidence to go on their own. Running is not only a great way to get fit and lose weight, but is also a nice way to meet other women with the same interest.”
Experienced runner Jan Bull, started leading the group last March said: “I have found the whole experience hugely rewarding and great fun and it’s been good to know I have made a difference in motivating ladies to start running and enjoying it the same as me - many of them have teamed up and run together in between the sessions.
“We’re a friendly, non-competitive, social running group open to all local women. No special kit is needed, and no lycra if you'd prefer not to wear it! Those taking part will be supported throughout the course starting with walking/running drills and building up slowly, with sessions focusing on fitness and fun!”
Once enrolled, runners who miss one session can join in with another group that week at a different venue so they don’t miss a week.
The improvers group meets every week and is suitable for ladies who can run three or more miles.
