Women in Hertsmere have the ideal opportunity to take their first steps towards a more healthy lifestyle by participating in a ‘0-5km Learn to Run’ course.

The eight week courses, two of which are being offered at a discount rate, aim to help women who are looking to get back into running or beginners looking to become more active.

Participants will start by making gentle progress, from only having to run a total of 60 seconds in the first week, up to running for 30 minutes in the final week.

From Tuesday, April 17, there will be one hour sessions every Tuesday in Aberford Park, Borehamwood at 7.30pm, while every Wednesday from April 18, the park will host a one hour session at 11.30am.

In Shenley, there will be hour sessions every Tuesday, starting on April 17, while on Fridays in Potters Bar there will be hour sessions from April 20 at 11.15am.
