Over the next few weeks, you will be given the opportunity to push your boundaries and set new personal records. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to running, this challenge is open to all fitness levels, aiming to make running a joyful and rewarding experience for everyone.

The Couch to 5K Challenge is not just about completing a 5K; it's about embracing a healthier lifestyle and gaining insights into your own cardiovascular health. Alongside tracking your running time, we encourage you to monitor your heart rate during your training sessions. Understanding your heart rate can provide valuable information about your fitness level, helping you tailor your workouts and make informed decisions about your training intensity.

Throughout this challenge, we will provide you with expert guidance, training plans, and tips to enhance your running performance and maximize the benefits of cardiovascular exercise. You'll also have access to a supportive community, where you can share your progress, cheer on your fellow participants, and celebrate your achievements together.

How to work out your heart rate.

You will each have an assignment in Teams. In this assignment will be a single Excel file. Towards the bottom of the Excel file, you will see two tabs. One will say 'Heart rate' the other 'Speed, Distance, Time'. 

As you complete the challenge, please fill in the spreadsheet as you go along. Once you have completed the challenge, please submit. If you would like to upload anything else to the assignment, feel free to do so, this could include videos, screenshots or pictures of your run. 

To give you an idea of how far 5k is, we have created some routes for you below:
