Get ready to hit the ground running—literally! Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing a new personal best or a newbie just looking for a fun way to stay active, our next ResLife Couch to 5K Event is calling your name.
But this isn't just a weekly running club; it’s an opportunity to connect and challenge yourself. It doesn’t matter if you walk it, jog it or sprint it – ResLife Ambassador Amber and Jack will be there to keep you company.
Don’t worry about the pace, Amber will be at the front and Jack at the back, and we change our pace so no one gets left behind. Worried about the weather? We laugh at bad weather. We will be there whatever the weather or the temperature – just wearing more layers.
So grab your shoes, a positive attitude, and join us for an event that’s all about movement, motivation, and a whole lot of fun!
What to expect if you attend this event
Amber and Jack will be at Polden Commons (to the right of the West Accommodation Centre) to welcome you. If it’s your first time they will be able to introduce you to the other runners. We will then get you to sign in so we can make sure everyone comes back!
We’ll start with some light stretches to get everyone ready to move, and aim to set off at 6.45. After the run, we’ll cool down together and there is some time to socialise and have a hot drink.
There are toilets and water station in the Polden Commons.
We sometimes take pictures and videos of our events, if it’s not for you, please tell Amber or Jack and we will make sure we don’t take any pictures of you.
What to bring:
• Comfortable running shoes
• Weather-appropriate gear think layers! If it is raining bring waterproof items
• Head Torch – if you don’t own a head torch you can buy one from under £10 from a variety of online retailers. If you want to borrow one, we have a limited number available.
• A water bottle to stay hydrated pre- and post-run
• A positive attitude—this is a judgment-free zone where everyone’s pace is celebrated
