A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Congratulations to the all our Health Associates Couch 2 5km participants. For 6 weeks our dedicated runners completed a comprehensive running program designed to not only help people run 5km but to help them run it strong. The program included 4 sessions from strength/hills, pilates, track and endurance. Participants were encouraged to attend at least 3 times per week.

At the beginning of the program our runners were put through a time trial to get a benchmark. Over the course of the 6 weeks we saw people improve their time by over 3 min. At the start of the program we had a few walkers and by the end everyone ran the whole way!!

Participants ranged from mums and dads, seniors and teenagers. A personal highlight would be two sisters Maddi and Ashley. One in primary school and the other in high school. The early mornings were very hard. Waking up at 5.30am to be at the track for a 6am start was very challenging but they did it and they were super stars. Maddi was so excited when she did a personal best in a school running event. She could see that her hard work was paying off.
