Leven jogging course will run again

This will be the fourth successive year that the local running club has offered the course which has already seen large numbers of previously inactive people take up the healthy pursuit of jogging with most going on to accomplish the objective of running 5km at the end of a 10 week training period.

Based on the NHS Couch to 5k plan, the course is used all over Scotland to help improve activity levels.

All that’s needed to get started is to be able to walk for five minutes and jog for one minute.

And it’s not just for those who want to take up jogging or running – it’s suitable as a starter for any other physical activity.

This will be an ideal opportunity for those who take little or no exercise at the moment to experience the physical and psychological benefits of jogging, to improve basic fitness and to increase self-confidence while having fun at the same time, all in a friendly and supportive environment.

Organised by and done under the auspices of jogscotland and the Leven Las Vegas group, participants will have the help, support and encouragement of trained Jog Leaders.

Here are some testimonials from previous participants:

“I was blown away with the Couch to 5k course”

“I loved the Couch to 5k from start to finish”

“The support we got from Leven Las Vegas was brilliant”

“The training and support was amazing”

“The Couch to 5k course has certainly built my confidence”

“Couch to 5k is great for fitness and the socialising aspect is great too”

“It makes you realise how much you can do and how far you can push yourself”

The course runs for 10 weeks starting on Tuesday 17 March 2020.

The total cost of the course is £10 and places are limited.
