Does fitness/running feel like the one area you can’t get right?
-
You know movement is important, but starting feels heavy
-
Past attempts didn’t stick, so doubt creeps in before you even begin
-
You overthink what to do, how hard to go, and whether it’s safe
-
You feel capable everywhere else, except here
-
You want change, but you don’t want another quiet failure
You can stop wondering if you’ll stick with it, this is how you do.

How it works
Get up to Five runs over eight weeks and combines scheduled group training sessions with structured programming and ongoing coaching support.
You sign up online, receive clear setup instructions, then attend 3 weekly fully coached training sessions where each workout follows a planned walk–run progression alongside strength, mobility, and technique guidance.
Coaches are present at every session to adjust pacing, teaching you safe technique, support you, and keep progression appropriate.
Alongside the physical training, you receive weekly life-coaching lessons that support consistency and mindset.
The program is designed to gradually build you to running 5km by the end, without requiring you to plan sessions, guess intensity, or manage the process on your own.
On the physical side, there are 3 levels of programme to choose from: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. You choose which level you follow depending on your ability and what feels comfortable to you when you start with the group.
Each session has 3 sections:
-
Body weight strength circuit lead by our coaches. The strength movements you do focus specifically on the key areas of the body that needs to get stronger for the running movement.
-
After the strength circuit you move on to the walk/jog section
-
Stretch at the end of the session.
-
All sessions are 60mins in duration.
