About the course
If you've ever thought about starting running but felt unsure or nervous, you're not alone. The Ware Joggers Beginners Course is designed for people who are new to running, returning after a long break, or simply lacking confidence.
The course runs for 10 weeks and gradually builds you from short walk–run intervals to around 50 minutes of continuous running. Everything is done at a comfortable pace, with no pressure and no one left behind.
You'll be supported by an England Athletics–qualified coach, as well as experienced Ware Joggers members who run alongside the group throughout. Each week includes a simple theme covering pacing, confidence, recovery and motivation.
"You don't need to be fit or fast. Many people who join feel exactly the same way at the start."

What you need
There's no need for expensive or specialist equipment. We'll send practical kit advice before the course begins.
Between sessions, two short guided independent runs each week help you build confidence at your own pace.
