About our group

Hi Everyone 

Welcome to the webpage of Solent Stormers Running & Walking Group,

We are a running and walking group for adults with a learning disability. The group is aimed at people who would like to learn to get fit whilst having some fun. It doesn't matter how fit you are or if you don't do much exercise as long as you are willing to give it a go! We want to encourage as many people as possible to join us.

 

All the group leaders/ facilitators are experienced in supporting people with a learnig disability and currently work within the Portsmouth Integrated Learning Disability Service.

All sessions are on a Tuesday morning 10am and free of charge.  We are meeting at The Coffee Cup for the Spring and Summer. We  exercise for about 45 minutes before going to the Coffee Cup for a drink and a chat.

We have 3 groups:

  • A Runners group - people in this group are regular runners and run anything from 5k to marathon distance
  • Couch to 5k Group - people in this group are working towards completing a 5k run without stopping
  • Walkers Group - we have a large group of walkers who walk at various paces (speeds)

Please be ready to exercise with comfortable clothes and a drink. 

If you like the sound of getting a bit fitter and meeting other people then please come along.
