LLR Girls Can Couch to 5k success in Leicester

A group of ladies are currently on week 6 of their LLR Girls Can Couch to 5k journeys in Spinney Hill, Leicester. The group meet each week and run in and around Victoria Park.

Couch to 5k is a running plan developed to help absolute beginners get into running. The plan involves three runs per week, with a day of rest inbetween, with a different schedule for each of the nine weeks.

"Having stopped my activities and work during 2 years lockdowns & ill health meant I literally fitted into the definition of "couch". Hence why joining the C25K program was daunting. Ayesha has been brilliant in her encouragement, advice and keeping the group motivated with her unique smile and motivating words. She has managed the group with different fitness levels so well - I really felt included and able to join at my own pace. Long may she continue helping women of all abilities!" - Farhana

"Through these sessions I have made wonderful friends and overcome a lot of barriers. Thanks to Ayesha, without her support I wouldn't have been able to blossom the way I am now." - Aesha
