If you are completely new to running then one of the most effective ways to get started is to follow a “Couch to 5K” programme.
Harborough AC run C25K programmes during the year which you are welcome to join. You will benefit from training in a group with an experienced coach to help you. Email coaching@harboroughac.co.uk for upcoming dates.
Alternatively here is one website link to get you started (there are many others as well):

The NHS programme takes 9 weeks to complete and it’s a good idea to follow this up by taking part in a local parkrun:

If you have a pre-existing health condition you are advised to check with your GP practice before commencing an exercise programme for the first time
