Over the years we have seen over 100 people complete one of our running courses. Here is some feedback from previous participants:

• "Having seen other colleagues who have completed the course in the past I was very encouraged and thought I could do it too! Having the support of my matron and other staff in my department made it easier for me to attend the group regularly. Following on from the course some colleagues and I have set up our own running group and go out a couple of times a week after work. I have also recommended it to other staff. Thank you so much!"

• "The run team are a great support and have really helped me to get to 5k and beyond. I would highly recommend the course. Thank you."

• "This was a really enjoyable and rewarding programme for me. I have a 20 month old child so this was a rare moment of downtime for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the group/social side and the Parkrun was great. Thank you for igniting my running passion. I just need to keep up the good work now. I hope to be at Bolsover in December!! Hope!!"

• "Although I found it challenging I have recommended this course to my colleagues. All the leaders were really friendly and very encouraging and all abilities were catered for. It was also nice to meet people from other departments."
