Beginners Course
8th February to 26th April 2025
The Trent Park Running Club Beginners course is now open for registration.
Would you like to start running? If so – we have the right running course for you.
At Trent Park Running Club (TPRC), we have a successful programme that has been tried and tested for many years, with most graduates still running. You may have heard about ‘Couch to 5k’ programmes before, but the TPRC beginners course tops them all. The course is managed and delivered by fully qualified England athletics coaches and leaders in running fitness, as well as qualified Personal trainers.
The course is friendly and progressively takes participants from the start to running comfortably in groups. Learning to run as a group is an amazing experience where encouragement is key, and friendships are made.
The course is 12 weeks long and consists of two group sessions per week, taking place on Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. In addition to this, participants are encouraged to fit an additional session of their own into the week. The Tuesday session will generally take place at the QEII running track (Enfield Football Club) in Donkey Lane in Enfield starting at 7:00 pm and the Saturday session will start at 9:30 am in Trent Park from Southgate Hockey Centre. Sessions will run for approximately an hour and include a thorough warm-up, a progressive run/walk segment and a full warm-down and stretch. Throughout the course, we will provide additional information such as good technique, injury prevention, nutrition for running and strength exercises specific to running.
We would be delighted if you joined Trent Park Running Club at the end of the course, but you are certainly not obligated to do so.
All of the support team members are there to help and provide advice, so please feel free to ask questions.
The support team is led by Tali Swart, who has many significant and appropriate qualifications. All of the team members have strong experience leading beginners and other groups.
The cost of the course is £75 payable after the first session should you decide to continue.
