Our “5 to 10K Progression Group is designed for runners who want to make the next step-up in their running journey.
If you can jog or run your way around parkrun (3 miles / 5k) or similar without stopping or walking, you’re fit enough to join this group.
We offer a 7-week programme starting with “3.5 miles at the pace of the slowest runner” and building up to running for a full hour. The group operates alongside SWRR’s regular Wednesday club nights – so once you’ve completed the 7-week programme you should be ready to join one of our other, regular groups.
Our next will begin on Wednesday 7th May 2025
- We meet at the Exeter Harriers building next to the Arena from 6-30pm and start running at 7pm
- There is free car parking and bicycle racks on site
- It will be £4 per session for non-club members – usual subs fee for members
- Please ensure that you wear light reflective clothing to run in and bring a torch for the winter group
- Always aim to warm-up before the session starts – we will complete each session with a warm- down lap of the track and some stretches
