Congratulations to our latest Couch to 5k graduates

Our amazing Couch to 5K group completed their 5k at Sale Water Park parkrun on Saturday 18 March encouraged by fellow Chorlton Runners.

The 5k around the water park was the culmination of 8.5 weeks of training which started in freezing cold January. The group met twice each week on Tuesdays at the Bowling Green and on Sundays at Tree Tops Café at Sale Water Park to take part in the programme.

Their hard work saw them transform from running for just one minute at a time in January to confidently completing the 5K run on Saturday.

After the 5k they celebrated in true Chorlton Runners style with a coffee and cake!

Most of those who completed the programme are now joining the club and embarking on a series of sessions to take their running to the next level with progression runs.

If you would like to join our next Couch to 5K programme watch this space for further announcements coming soon on here and our social media channels.

We plan to launch our next programme in May.

The club offers runners of all abilities opportunities to run and socialise in a friendly and supportive environment.

Thank you to all our members who helped with the Couch to 5K programme including Yvonne Barry, Paul Adams, Si Hedges, Emma Flint and Ann Carney.

If you would like to join us for a run please come to our Sunday Morning Run.
