Fit 4 Life – Spring 2022 programme concludes (21st Mar)

Our spring Fit 4 Life programme concluded on Monday night 21st March at our all-weather track in Grange. Over a 10-week period, participants received coaching from Club members to enable them to run a timed 5k. The majority of the participants would not have done any running in many years, if ever, and were seeking to get back to a level of fitness so they could enjoy regular exercise.

The Club had run a similar programme before Christmas and 11 participants returned again for this latest programme. It was noticeable that all of them achieved an improvement in their times for the 5k this time, compared to their first efforts only a few months previously in January. In the pre-Christmas programme, participants completed the 5k in times between 24 and 42 minutes. On this occasion that range was 24 to 37 minutes.

Full results of the 5k in March and in January are HERE.

The feedback from participants was very positive with universal satisfaction with the programme and a stated desire to continue with running activity. Some are planning to join the Club’s senior/masters section and increase their level of participation, while others committed to keeping up with regular weekly activity.

Given the undoubted success of the Fit 4 Life programme, the club plans to continue with Fit 4 Life classes in the Autumn 2022 again and another 10-week programme will be launched in late September.
