Beginners

 
Stonehaven Running Club doesn't run any beginner-specific training sessions. but we try to be an inclusive Club, which aims to support people of all abilities with their running and help them to get the best out of their training. 
 
All Club sessions are approximately one hour long, and it is expected that runners would be able to run at their own pace for the full hour. All club sessions start with a warm up, and finish with a cool down. These are of varying lengths depending on your running ability and speed. Most sessions will have some breaks to allow the coach to explain the session plan, and to allow runners to recover from their reps.
 
If you think this could be right for you, you can come along to a session or two before you join to see how you get on.
 
Alternatively, you might prefer to look for a more beginner-specific session in which case you could contact jogscotland https://www.jogscotland-stonehaven.com/
 
Another option might be to look at a "couch to 5k" programme which can help beginners to gradually improve.https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/
 
Also, you might want to consider attneding our local parkrun https://www.parkrun.org.uk/stonehaven/ which strongly encourages new runners to come along and walk, jog, or run at their own pace with no pressure, and no concerns at being left behind as there is always a tail walker at the back.
