THE JOURNEY
How it works
Our 10-week programme is designed for complete beginners. We build gently, celebrate every step, and make sure nobody gets left behind, ever.
Register & show up
Sign up online, then simply arrive at Beeston canal side heritage centre on Thursday at 7:15pm. A friendly face will greet you no kit required.
Run, walk, repeat
We start with short running intervals mixed with walking. Week by week, you'll run a little longer and surprise yourself every time
Find your community
The group is the magic. We're more about coffee and a chat afterwards than personal bests and Beeston Marina has brilliant cafés and the best scones!
Cross the 5K finish line
By week 10, you'll run 5 kilometres without stopping. This will feel like a superpower. We promise.
No hidden costs.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Got questions?
Do I need any running experience? Absolutely not. Couch to 5K is designed specifically for people who have never run before, or haven't run in years. We start very gently with run/walk intervals.
What should I wear and bring? Just comfortable clothing and a pair of trainers. They don't need to be specialist running shoes to begin with. Bring a water bottle and your card for the £2 session fee.
Can I join mid course? We recommend starting at the beginning of a cohort so you progress at the right pace with the group. However in the first 3 week you should be able to catch up.
What if I can't keep up with the group? There is no "keeping up." Our run leaders adapt to everyone in the group. Nobody gets left behind that's a core part of what Runspire is all about.
Is this different from the NHS couch to 5K app? Yes! While we follow a similar progression, running with a group and a leader in person is a completely different experience. The community support and accountability makes a huge difference.
