Come and join the Students' Union and Sharon the Individual Sports Co-Ordinator from UWSTD Academy of Sport. 

As we embark on the first run of the Couch to 5K programme, but don't be nervous about the word run.. the first session doesn't actually involve more than a walk and a light jog. 

So whether you are new to running, looking to get back into it, a seasoned pro or just looking to make friends and keep fit. 

Come try our taster session 5K and 'if you like it then you could continue to follow a C25K programme as a group and seek to join the UWTSD Individual Sports Club for further support (please note this club isn't just for those who want to compete, but also social athletes). Or create a UWTSD Running Club for just Swansea based students in conjunction with the Students' Union.
