Southampton Running Sisters is offering an annual beginners course every spring. In addition, the Eastleigh group hosts special programmes for smaller beginner groups thoughout the year. Which one you join is up to you but we'd certainly love to help you turn into a runner.

SRS Annual Beginner Course

Every spring we host our annual beginner's course to help new runners getting started. Details for 2012 have not yet been decided but we usually meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings at a venue near the Commons.

The programme typically includes guest speakers, social events and fun run. During the practical part we match you up with other runners of simiar capabilities and help you to gradually move from a walk/run to a continuous jog. The emphasis at the beginner course is not on speed but on building your stamina to handle longer running intervals that still feel comfortable.

The course is very popular, you are advised to sign up at the earliest opportunity. Please email info@srs.org.uk to be added to our waiting list.
