Many people decide to start running, but then wonder why it seems so hard, either giving up, or struggling for months.
They look at some other runners gliding along, seemingly effortlessly, and wish they could run like that too. Some of them never figure it out, even after years of running.
In this Running For Beginners course you’ll be taught the mental and physical skills to get it right, from the very start, so that learning to run is a little more fun and you’ll finish knowing what to do next. All from the comfort of your own home and the paths nearby, saving you time and improving the quality of your life.
Whatever your reason for wanting to learn to run, from feeling better about yourself, to a new challenge, coming back from long term injury safely or to meet new people, you’ll nail it with Runningversity. We’ll get you running – we guarantee it:
Satisfaction Guarantee
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, within 30 days of completing the course, we will refund your money 100%. Refund policy
Additionally, when you enrol, it would be great to get some feedback about ways to make the course even more useful for future students. Let’s help each other.
CAN I DO IT?
Can you walk briskly for 45-60 minutes non-stop? If so, the Running For Beginners course might be for you, but read on to decide for yourself.
WHAT’S MY WHY?
Why do you want to learn to run? And how important to you is it that you succeed? So many people start to run and then give up. Just having a weekly schedule from a C25K app is not enough! On this course, you'll learn HOW to run, how to stay on track and how to continue progressing after you finish the course.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Our course teaches you how to start running, including everything you need to run like a pro from day 1, plus stay on track, complete the course and make plans to continue running consistently after that.
WHAT’S THE GOAL?
Run non-stop for 30 minutes - think about how fantastic that will feel! But that’s just a medium term goal. We’ll teach you how to set and achieve longer term goals as you continue on your running journey. Nothing would make us happier than to know that course graduates are now enjoying running regularly, getting fitter and faster.
ARE YOU SURE I CAN?
It’s simple. You'll focus only on the info you need as a beginner, but complete the course with essential running skills, and armed with enough knowledge to progress as a runner. You’ll step outside of your comfort zone, but it will be far easier than if you’d just tried on your own.
WHAT DO I GET?
- Knowledge
- Video Tutorials, with high quality audio and visuals so they are a joy for your ears
- Quizzes to check your understanding
- Video Transcripts
- Running Schedule
- Real tutor available for questions
- Discussion Group - ask other students
- Money-back Guarantee
BUDDY UP!
Meet, chat and motivate other course members, just like you, in an online discussion group. Buddy up with other runners on the course for even more motivation and added accountability.
FINISH WITH MORE
Once you can run for 30 minutes, you will learn what you can do next to improve and progress, including how to plan your future running weeks. You’ll get a course completion certificate. We will ask for your feedback, so that you can help shape the course for the next generation of students.
HOW LONG IS IT?
The course is 11 weeks. Many "couch to 5k" programs are 8-9 weeks, but they ramp up too quickly. Instead, 11 weeks is more inclusive, giving your body time to adapt properly - patience & consistency are key to successful running. Lessons are spread gradually over the weeks.

Your Instructor:
Hi! My name is Charles Rodmell – I’ve been running since the 70’s and I’m always excited to help people run better.
I’d had enough of seeing hundreds of local people struggling through or completely failing at the free C25K programs, finishing with no real clue about running theory or what to do next.
So I have put together this course of what works and what doesn’t. You’ll learn how to get the right habits in place to help launch you on a long-term running journey way beyond the end of this course.
I coach / race for Chichester Runners in the UK and also run a lot of canicross with my Siberian Husky, Rocky. For those of you that love geeking out over stats, I recently achieved PBs in the 10K (35m21s) and Marathon (2h58m)
