At a time when running clubs are not allowed to meet, some innovative ways to keep runners connected have emerged, from virtual relay races to Sale Superheroes pounding the streets!

Now you can get in on the action with the great news that the #MileShyClub are taking their “Couch to 5k” sessions online. The sessions start next week on the 1st June and are due to run for 8 weeks, taking place on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm and Saturday’s at 9am. You can learn to run from the comfort of your own home, being taught appropriate warm ups, tips on technique and cool down stretches.

All sessions will be brought to you by #MileShyClub’s award-winning coach and Personal Trainer, Jane Dennison, and will take place via Facebook Live.

“It’s quite daunting to be delivering the sessions via Facebook Live,” says Jane, “But I am looking forward to the new challenge!”

Following the live broadcast, the sessions will be available to view at any time on the main Facebook page for the #MileShyClub found here.

There is a Q&A session this Saturday morning at 9am.

Sessions are free, but the #MileShyClub are kindly requesting that donations are made the Trafford Crisis Fund via the PayPal link set up by the club.

To contact the club, you can email them at hello@mileshyclub.com.
