Since completing the course two years ago, Emily has since taken part in almost 50 parkruns, numerous 5k and 10k races and also the Cambridge Half Marathon.

"I joined couch to 5k as a new challenge and to get back my fitness. This was definitely achieved but also I have gained so much more which I could never of imagined. The coaches and other members helped me to push myself but also have fun in the process, they couldn’t have been more supportive. The course is structured to gently ease you in and is great for all abilities. Before I joined I had never run and now I am able to run a 5k with ease which I never thought would be possible! Having completed the course I have become a member of the running group to continue to develop my running but also to spend time with friends I have created. Everyone in the group are there for each other and make running fun. I would definitely recommend to anyone to join the couch to 5k course as it is one of the best decisions I have made."

"I've had an amazing time and met some fantastic and truly inspirational people.
I never liked running. I hated it at school, especially cross country in the cold West Norfolk winters. Back in 2019 I tried the NHS Couch to 5K app on my own. I got through it, but something was missing, and it didn’t last.
This year’s Runners-next-the-Sea Couch to 5K has been completely different. It’s not just about getting to the finish, it’s about learning how to run properly and enjoy it.
I’ve learnt how important warming up, cooling down and stretching really are. I’ve learnt about breathing, posture, and even how to tackle hills. But most of all, I’ve learnt that even when it feels tough, running can actually be fun!
The coaches and support runners have been incredible, and the people on the course kept me going when it got hard.
This isn’t the end, just the beginning of something new and beautiful."
