When is it?
Wednesdays 4pm
Where is it?
Harrison Park (West) - we will meet at the wee circle of benches and bushes in the middle of the diagonal path
What is the couch to 5k?
The Couch to 5k is a simple training plan to get people running, by following the app and a simple plan hopefully after 9 weeks they can run 5k!
What do I need to do beforehand?
- Get a ticket from Native (this site)
- Download the couch to 5k app (called NHS couch to 5k [In partnership with the BBC / Department of health and social care (Digital)])
- Arrive on time and ready to run
What do I need to bring?
You just need to bring/ wear what you are comfortable running in. Please check the weather beforehand and be ready for anything! Unfortunately there aren't lockers and there is nowhere secure to leave valuables. If you have jumpers / jackets / water / juice you can leave this at the side, but we can't take any repsonsibility is these go missing, get broken, lost or stolen.
What facilities are there?
We are holding it at a public park to keep it free. Due to this there are no toilets, showers or facilities sadly.
Have a query?
Email Moray (he is organising this) on m.pryde@napier.ac.uk and he'll get back to you. Hopefully see you there!
