New Walk-Running Group

A new group, geared completely for those new to running, has started in Torrington. Wendy Shambrook and Chiara Magarotto both qualified as leaders in Running Fitness back in September through Run in England.
The session is based on walk-running and nobody needs to worry about not being able to keep up or being left behind. All you need is a decent pair of trainers (and for ladies a well fitting sports bra)!
Despite popular misconceptions, the benefits to running are enormous and an average person burns around 15 calories a minute whilst running! It's great for your heart, lungs, waistline and mind.
The group meets at the bottom of Borough Road, by the Junior School at 6.30pm every Friday and are generally aiming to be out for about an hour.
The cost is £2 per session and the course will run for 10 weeks. Torrington AAC is offering club membership discounts to those who would like to join the club after the 10 weeks are up.
Contact Wendy on 01805 624811 to find out more; more information is available at www.runinengland.co.uk
