Couch to Loops
Your first step doesn't have to be a big one
Thinking about running or walking more, but not sure where to start? Couch to Loops is exactly that — a gentle way in. You don't need to be fit, fast, or even a little bit sporty. You just need to be willing to turn up once a month and do a bit more than you might have done without us.
Looney Loops isn't a training plan and it isn't a race. Think of it as a springboard — a regular, reliable date in your calendar where you can test out how far you've come, meet other people on the exact same journey, and walk, jog or shuffle your loops alongside people who understand exactly how big that first step feels.
Every single month, there are people walking their very first loop. Some are recovering from time off, some are starting completely from scratch, some are simply looking for a reason to move a bit more. Whatever stage you're at, you'll find people at the same point — no pressure, no judgement, no need to keep up with anyone.

Looney Loops happens once a month, which means what you do in between is entirely up to you — and that's where a simple couch-to-5k style plan can help. We've put together an easy training guide to help you build up gradually between visits, so each time you come back, you'll feel that little bit stronger. Download callout to go here
