PAIN WITHOUT GAIN? IT IS POSSIBLE!
Wednesday 2 April 2008
With a host of charity runs just around the corner in the region no doubt many people are thinking about how they will make the distance. Well fitness experts at a City of Durham Leisure Centre have come up with just the answer.
A new beginners running/walking group called Fit2 Run is being launched at Sherburn Leisure Centre this month for all those people who want the gain without the pain!
The launch follows an enquiry from a member of the public who wanted to get fit for the Great North Run but felt intimidated by established running groups.
It's being run in partnership with Durham Sport with ex
GB international athlete David Lowes but he's not
expecting those who turn up to take it to such heady
levels. ' The whole scheme centres on fitness through
enjoyment it's not about how great an athlete you
are.'
'Everyone who comes will get an induction assessment from
me before they run.'
Sherburn Manager Lesley Tindale 'We are catering for all
ages and abilities and no matter how seriously, or not,
you want to take getting fit 2 run we'll offer you expert
help and support with a healthy dose of
motivation!'
Fit2 Run takes off Monday evenings at 6pm commencing
April 21st 2008 and everyone new to running is very
welcome.
