Roodepoort | 18:00 pm | January

Embark on your running journey with Couch Potato Run Club's beginner-friendly program designed for those who have never run before. Starting January 18, 2027, this eight-week plan offers a supportive environment where you can build endurance at your own pace without the fear of being slow or holding others back. Each session in Roodekrans Park and Lapa includes structured intervals that begin with just 30 seconds of running followed by walking breaks to help ease into longer distances gradually.
The program is meticulously crafted to avoid overwhelming beginners, ensuring that no week feels insurmountably challenging. The longest continuous run throughout the entire eight-week period will be only 8 minutes, making it accessible and manageable for all levels of fitness. This approach allows participants to stay engaged without feeling discouraged by unrealistic expectations or sudden jumps in difficulty.
Join a community dedicated to fostering growth and understanding that running is not just about achieving physical milestones but also about finding motivation and support. Sessions take place on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 PM, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules. Roodekrans Park offers scenic routes amidst natural beauty, enhancing the overall experience.
