“Today I feel like a different person, I have achieved something I never thought I would and I have a new outlook on what I can achieve if I have the support and the determination.”
Beat the Couch is a realistic, rewarding and achievable running program for those who are new or nearly-new to running. We can get almost anyone off the couch and 5K fit in just 10 weeks!
In May 2013, 47 beginner or “lapsed” runners achieved their 5K target and had an amazing time doing it. That was 92% of our original intake – a really rewarding statistic for everyone! Since then, over 1300 participants have beaten the couch… and you can too.
Beat the Couch is based on the classic “Couch to 5K” concept – but offers the extra support of a group environment with expert trainers who will monitor your progress in person and guide your technique. In addition, our Nutritional Therapist Catherine Burns will show you how to make dietary choices that optimize your energy, mood, performance and recovery. You also have the opportunity to track your weight, percentage body fat and inch-loss at fortnightly intervals.
Training involves just three 45 minute training sessions a week (from a flexible choice of 10). Our end goal is for you to take part in our official 5K race day. Not only that, but you will have the chance to Beat the Couch, literally. Our couch-on-wheels is pushed around the route by some of Bermuda's running elite, and the challenge is to beat them to the finish line! This time you also have the opportunity to extend your training (for a small extra cost) to take part in the Bermuda Triangle Challenge 5k on Jan 18th. A great way to maintain your fitness into the New Year and experience an international event!
If you have limited free time or frequently travel, don’t worry. We have training options every single day and podcast training that you can use as a back-up. Many of our participants have trained with us twice a week and independently once a week. Ultimately this is an extremely flexible program.
KIDS! 10 free places for 12-17 year olds, when accompanied by a fee-paying adult. Please email Catherine to confirm we have space before you add the child to your registration form: catherine@waterfrontwellness.bm
