How fast/fit do I need to be?
Running H.I strives to be a safe and inclusive space for all. To attend the social run, all you need to be comfortable with is jogging/running for 30 minutes. Sometimes we cover 3K (2 miles) and sometimes we get further, we always run at a pace which everyone can manage; it is a 'SOCIAL RUN' after all.
To attend the threshold session, we welcome runners of all different speeds and abilities however we advise that participants can run continuously for 30+ minutes. If you have completed Couch to 5K, you are good to go.
Gym sessions are open to all; movements can be adapted and adjusted. We just advise that you are well enough and fit enough to be exercising.
What do I need to bring?
For run sessions, ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions. This includes a hi vis or light for dark evenings. You also need a suitable pair of trainers to run in. Running H.I reserves the right to prevent individuals from participating if they are not appropriately prepared; this is for your safety.
For gym sessions, please dress appropriately for exercise. A yoga mat and resistance bands can be very useful too, if you have them.
We recommend bringing water and a small snack, particularly if you are participating in multiple sessions on one day.
What if I am injured?
The coaches at Running H.I are not medical professionals. We always advise that you consult a specialist before undertaking any exercise with us.
If you have a managed injury or condition, then please make us aware so that the session can be adapted where required to make the classes more comfortable for you.
Can I attend if I am not a member of Running H.I or DNA Gym?
Yes! Non-members are very much welcome!
Runners on the 'Advanced Plan' with Running H.I can access all classes and sessions at no extra cost.
