Couch to 5K

Always wanted to run a 5K but don’t know where to start? This beginner-friendly programme takes you from little (or no) running experience to crossing the finish line, proud, confident, and surrounded by your group.

You don’t need to be “a runner” to join. We take it step-by-step, with encouragement at every stage, so you build up gradually and safely. By the time race day arrives, you’ll not only have the stamina, you’ll have the belief that you can do it.

See What Others Say

I reached out to Danielle because I loved running but was constantly frustrated, I’d get stuck, lose motivation, and worry about injuries every time I tried to increase my mileage. She designed a personalised strength and conditioning plan that fit around my running and taught me how to train smarter, with a focus on mobility and injury prevention. Now I feel stronger and more confident, I can run further without pain, and I finally see myself improving week after week.
