The nature, running and Parkinson’s group

Overview

Thank you for joining us. Over the next twelve weeks we will be starting our running* journey together. This group is about taking it at your pace with no pressure to keep up with others. This is your journey, whether you already consider yourself to be a runner or have never thought about picking up your trainers before. We will be working towards improving fitness, increasing your pace and being on the move for 30 minutes. You'll also get to know more about the natural world and how conservation organisations are working to look after nature. *What we mean by "running" - in this document we have used run, running and runner to refer to any activity which is at a pace faster than your regular walking pace. Whether you are doing a jaunty jog, a power walk or a quick amble you're a runner to us! Please note that some runs may be suitable for children aged 8+ where the Run Leader(s) holds the relevant qualifications and insurance. Please check with the Run Leader(s) directly before attending any runs with under 8s. Qualified Run Leaders are insured to lead training sessions with runners using running buggies, however, please check with your Run Leader directly if you are able to attend with a buggy and that the route is suitable for running with a buggy. Only buggies designed for running may be used and they must be fitted with a five-point safety harness. You will be responsible for your child’s safety, so please be aware of the dangers of running with children in buggies.
