New Jogging Group set up by Sport Maker

This week, James Bull of Wellingborough became the first Sport Maker in the county to set up and lead a Jog Northants beginners jogging group to help anyone start running.

Having attended a Sport Maker workshop in December 2011, James was inspired by the guidance given and began his quest to encourage more adults to get involved in sports activities.

James then contacted the Jog Northants team and subsequently attended a Leadership in Running Fitness course to become a qualified Jog Leader and with the help of the Jog Northants team he set about developing his own beginner groups, which guide new starters through a series of low intensity gentle walking and jogging programmes with the ultimate goal of reaching 3-5miles after 10 weeks.

The Groups run every Saturday at 9:30am at the Rockingham Triangle Sports Centre, Corby and every Wednesday from 6pm at Croyland Park, Wellingborough.
