RUNNING GROUPS: Our sessions are aimed at complete beginners to 5K Improvers and everything inbetween!

Locations:  We have ten clubs across Greater Manchester located in Altrincham, Old Trafford, Partington, Sale, Salford Quays, Stretford, Swinton, Urmston, Worsley and Wythenshawe.

Time: Various - please see individual group links above.

Cost: £2 a session, pay as you go, bring cash on the day!

Length of session: Usually an hour, but allow for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Session summary: After a fun group warm up, runners are placed into groups depending on ability. We have lots of different ability levels ranging from complete beginners to 5K runners.  A run/walk session is then completed.  The session includes teaching points on how to run and runners are taught cool down stretches afterwards.

When starting as an absolute beginner we offer optional homework to help your progression to the next level.  If you attend every session and complete all homework runs you can expect to run your first 5K in around nine weeks. All runners who complete the Couch To 5K programme have the option to attend a celebratory goody bag parkrun with the MileShyClub to complete their first 5K.

WALKING GROUPS: Our walks are open to everyone. As a club we cater for all abilities and adapt our sessions to sure they are fully inclusive. Our walks generally do not exceed one mile.

Locations: We have clubs across Trafford located in Old Trafford, Sale, Stretford and The Trafford Centre.

Length of session: Sessions will not exceed 1 hour, with optional extra time for refreshments after.

Session summary: We begin the session with a mobility and flexibility warm up to help relieve any aching muscles and joints and we then go for a gentle, easy going, social walk of no more than a mile. We always close the session with some very gentle cool down stretches
