This course came about because many people were interested in starting to run, but they weren’t yet able walk for 45-60 minutes non-stop. So the Walk Before You Run course was created to ensure that anyone could follow some simple steps to get fit enough to start running.
If you are looking just to start walking, this beginner walk to run program will get you moving in a structured, educational way and naturally leads on to the Running For Beginners course, sharing some of the same ideas.

CAN I DO IT?
Most people can do this course, but if you aren't sure, please check with your doctor. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by starting this beginner walking program.
WHAT’S MY WHY?
Why do you want to start walking? And how important to you is it that you succeed? So many people start exercise and then give up. Just having a weekly schedule from a free app is not enough! You need to know how to walk, how to stay on track and how to continue progressing when you finish the course.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Our course teaches you how to start walking, including everything you need to stay on track, complete the course and make plans afterwards, whether it's more walking or moving on to running.
WHAT’S THE GOAL?
When you’ve finished this course you will have walked non-stop for 60 minutes. Think about how fantastic that will feel! But that’s just a medium term goal. What will you do after that? Nothing would make us happier than to know that course graduates are moving on to become beginner runners too, getting fitter and faster.
ARE YOU SURE I CAN?
Most importantly it’s simple. We have focused only on the information you need as a beginner, but have included enough so that you complete the course with essential walking skills, and armed with a little knowledge to progress. You’ll need to be prepared to 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 Transcripts
- 8 Week Walking Schedule
- Live tutor available to ask questions
- Discussion Group
BUDDY UP!
You get access to an online discussion group to meet, chat and motivate other course members, just like you. You can buddy up with other walkers on the course for even more motivation and added accountability.
FINISH WITH MORE
Once you can walk for 60 minutes, your fitness levels will be higher. You will have a desire to improve and progress. You’ll also get a course completion certificate. We will ask for your feedback, so that you can help shape the future of the course for the next generation of students.
HOW LONG IS IT?
The course is 8 weeks. You'll learn patience and consistency, which are also key to successful running if you'd like to go down that route afterwards.
What you say:

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 & get fitter.
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 for people who need to walk before they run. You’ll learn how to get the right habits in place to help launch you on a long-term fitness journey way beyond the end of this course.
I 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)
