6. ‘New to Running’ course Autumn 2024 – a message from organiser Carol

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be a Beginners Champion for this course. In spite of the weather at this time of year we had 18 people initially registered. For various reasons; sometimes life gets in the way; we had 9 complete the course and 5 attended the Graduation Parkrun at Berkeley Green. We have coached them to run 5k, not to do cross country. )  They ran times between 28:22 and 32:55!!! Fantastic times for their first parkrun. The feedback has been very positive from people who completed and those who had to drop out and postpone until the Spring.

We will do it all again in Spring 2025.!

feedback…..

• Such a lovely group of people.
• I’m really enjoying the running and committed to continuing. Thank you and your helpers for the support which was much appreciated.
• Really hope to see you again for more running.
• I’m gutted not to continue, I will return in the Spring.
• I have been really enjoying the sessions, so sad to have to drop out, would love to come back in the Spring.
• Loving the club runs and will keep up with the homework runs if I can.
• Such a shame we have to pull out as it is such a lovely group of people who I’m sure will do really well. Thank you for welcoming us to the group, we may be back in the Spring.
• Thank you, Carol. Richard and I have really enjoyed the course and are so pleased we did it. Please say thank you to all those who supported us. We really appreciated them volunteering their time and expertise. Many thanks to you for organising it as well. We both want to join the club.

If I don’t hear from you by 11^th November I will send a follow up e-mail to those who have yet to reply. If you haven’t received the e-mail, or cannot find it, please let me know and I will resend.
