It's not too late for you to become a 10km runner before the year is up! Perhaps you've tried running many times without success and you don't think it is possible. But it certainly is - IF you do it the right way. OptiFit Walk and Run Health Programme, run in association with the Sports Science Institute of SA, has developed a fully- supervised 12 weeks to 10km, scientifically-designed training programme to make your dream come true. Recent research, conducted by UCT's Exercise Science and Sports Medicine Unit on OptiFit's 10km programme, has shown it to be extremely safe and scientific with participants reaching their goal with no muscle damage or pain.
On joining, you will attend a novice runners workshop, receive a training T-shirt, log book and 3 month Runner's World subscription and a New Balance discount voucher for running shoes, as well as having both a dietary and health and fitness assessment. You meet for three evening sessions a week and are trained by a Sports Scientist and her team. On completion of the course, your health and fitness are re-assessed and the entire group participates in an official 10km event together. The course starts in Cape Town, September 22 and there are limited places available, so book early!
