Combined sessions including 5k-to-10k Programme
From the 10 January 2020 Let’s Go Linlithgow will be offering a combined session aimed runners interested in our Couch-to-5k programme and for those have already completed the programme. These sessions will be free with the support of Linlithgow Athletic Club meet at the Cross, Linlithgow, 9.30am Fridays
The development programme is for those who can already jog continuously for 30 minutes or 5K and who want to build up to 10K. To give continuity to those who have already participated in a Couch-to-5K, and who want to keep jogging without building up to 10K, the sessions will be combined. Those participating in the development programme will gradually build up time and distance whereas those who want to maintain their jogging will have other options including doing parts of the development programme or a session with jogleaders at the Peel and you can decide on the day what you want to do.
As this will be winter, each session will depend on paths being free of ice and snow. The 5K to 10K programme is ten weeks but could take longer if sessions have to be cancelled due to the winter weather conditions. This should still give ample time to target the Round the Houses 10K at Grangemouth on 19 April 2020, although it will be up to each jogger to decide what they want to do.
Please note that to take part in the Combined Sessions starting on 10 January you must confirm with Alex at: alexander.wood@blueyonder.co.uk, be a member of Jogscotland and have submitted a PARQ form.
A new beginners’ Couch-to-5K programme is planned for April 2020 and, as the number of jogleaders has increased, it will be held on Monday evenings as well as Friday mornings and there will be more information nearer the time. It is proposed that this will be followed by another development programme from 5K to 10K later in the summer targeting the Linlithgow 10K in early October.
