Have you tried couch to 5k and given up? Have you looked at couch to 5k and thought it looked too much? Do you worry about activity after years of inactivity? Have you had a negative experience whist exercising? Do you think the front door is your biggest hurdle? Do you just want to get outside and move around? Did you used to be active and want to get back into it? Or do you just fancy feeling EPIC week after week? Come and join us!

At I Can Run CIC we offer a safe space for women to step into exercise and feel great. It's been our experience that sometimes women can feel shy and nervous about joining new groups or overwhelmed by the thought of a gym. We are women of all shapes, ages, abilities and backgrounds. We just want to be a bit a fitter.

We meet in a quiet area of a beautiful Suffolk park or green space for our run/walk beginners sessions. We believe that to run outside in all weathers is a beautiful thing and can help with the runners high- especially when we know we've done well despite the weather! It will also help you get used to running outdoors so you can go off and pound the streets when you like!

Is it for me?

Our passion is for absolute beginners, and the course is designed for them. However - we have had women come who haven’t exercised for years, had an injury and are looking to get back in to running safely and those who are looking to feel a bit confident. You have nothing to loose by trying - you’ll definitely meet some fab people!!

We believe that ALL women - regardless of their size, ability or age can run and feel great doing it. That includes you too! We welcome ALL who identify as women or non-binary.

If you’re nervous, our beginners sessions are perfect for you. We don't shout at you to go faster or tell you you're not trying hard enough - we're here to support you and make sure you have a positive experience with us. We all started somewhere. Also, we're all really normal and like you, are women of all ages, shapes and abilities. It’s perfectly normal to be nervous - you’re definitely are not the only one!
Not everyone is able or wants to run non-stop, We share the run/walk method created by Olympian Jeff Galloway (we call it Jeffing!) we find it best for everyone to step into running with. If you want to challenge yourself afterwards with running non-stop - that's brilliant! We just want you to keep running and being active - however you do it!

Comfortable running shoes and clothes and ideally a good sports bra are needed for all our courses and sessions. If you haven't got these things, don't worry, we're not a super sporty bunch of lycra clad women who will make you feel uncomfortable. We just want you to get here - that's the most important thing. However, poor/old trainers can be uncomfortable and lead to injury in time so do look into getting a new pair!

We have some VERY special Run Leaders #TeamGreen (in green t-shirts or a Hi-Viz) with us every week whose sole purpose is to ensure you have a good time and feel comfortable. They will lead a warm up and a cool down and be there to help settle you in. We always have a run leader at the back to ensure no-one is left behind. They are full of fun and useful tips - do ask them anything and approach them if you’re nervous.

If you sign up for our running courses - there’s a shiny medal for you at the end to celebrate your hard efforts!

But I can run already! Head over to our ‘RUN WITH US’ page and book on to one of our regular group sessions!
