I never thought I’d be able to run any sort of distance and nervously joined the couch25k. Running in a group with the support of Derwent Runners made it so much more enjoyable. I have discovered a love of running and am now aiming to enter a 10k this summer and become an official Derwent Runner. Apr 1, 2016

I did the couch to 5km. Thouroughly enjoyed it, got my fitness and stamina back and it’s improving weekly, lost a bit of weight from it too, and the best of it is, I’ve carried it on to the Tuesday night 4 mile group which I’m hoping to continue.

It couldn’t be easier to get running!
