Couch to 5k

Summer sessions – next intake spring 2025

This year’s couch to 5k has now completed, with participants joining other Totley AC members at Millhouses Park Run this morning.
Until mid September, we will continue with a Monday session from Millhouses cafe at 6.30pm. This will be a 30 minute chatty run through the park. All abilities welcome.

Beyond the 5k

Starting Monday 9th September until Christmas.
Mondays 6.30pm meeting outside Waggon & Horses at Millhouses.
Aiming to work on endurance and increase from 30 minutes to 1 hour of running over the course of the programme. This group is suitable for anyone able to run 30 minutes.

Below is a rough breakdown of the sessions. All sessions will be concentrating on building endurance over the weeks but some will include tempo (sections at a steadier pace), fartlek (faster intervals) or the Sheffield favourite Hills!

There will be no Monday night session on the last week but we hope everyone will join in the Christmas Lights run which is usually on the Tuesday of this week.
