Looking for a fun way to get active this summer? The Run Club at Fitness4Less Southwark is a great place to start. The Getters Run Club welcomes everyone, whether you are new to running or already love a good 5K.

You do not need to be a fast runner. Instead, you can go at your own pace and take breaks when you need them. What's more, you will be part of a friendly group that can help you build confidence and endurance.

What Is the Getters Run Club?

The Getters Run Club is a free weekly session for everyone. Whether you have never run 5K before or already run regularly, you are welcome to join.

The session takes place every Wednesday evening at 6:15pm. During this time, you will cover a total distance of 5km over approximately 45 minutes.

Best of all, you do not have to run the whole distance without stopping. The route uses 1km loops around the club. You return to the starting point after each loop.

This means you can take a break after any loop if you need one. You can also choose your own pace throughout the session.

Why Try the Run Club?

Running can be a great way to improve your fitness. However, starting on your own can sometimes feel difficult. That is where a group can help.

Running with others can make each session feel more fun. At the same time, you can build your confidence as you get used to running longer distances. As a result, each week feels a little easier.

The Run Club also gives you a simple goal to work towards each week. As you keep coming back, you can slowly build your fitness and endurance.

You can also improve your cardio fitness in other ways. For more ideas, check out our guide to Cardio Endurance: 5 Best Ways to Build Your Fitness Engine.

A 5K Run Made for All Levels

You might be thinking that 5km sounds like a lot. However, the Getters Run Club is designed to make the distance feel more manageable.

The 1km loops give you a clear goal each time you run. After each loop, you can return to the starting point and decide whether you are ready for the next one.

There is no need to race anyone else. Instead, focus on your own pace and enjoy the session. After all, everyone progresses differently.

You can also take your time between loops if you need to. That way, you can build your running confidence without feeling pressured.

When and Where Does It Take Place?

The Getters Run Club meets every Wednesday evening at 6:15pm.

You should meet at Fitness4Less Southwark reception before the session starts. From there, the group will set off together.

The session lasts 45 minutes and covers 5km in total. Most importantly, it is completely free to join.

Make sure you bring some water with you, especially on warm summer evenings. If you want more summer fitness tips, read our guide on Beat the Heat: How to Stay Hydrated During Summer Workouts.
