Comments from group members:

"It is an easily affordable form of exercise"

"I think the programme is great. When I started I couldn't run for 30 seconds and now I'm close to 30 minutes!"

"I'm really enjoying being part of the Jog Northants Programme.  It's nice to meet up with like minded people and I'm really enjoying taking part regularly in races"

"Really enjoying it so far (am new!) Also the other Run England group I jog with -
they have worked a miracle getting me running (5 miles maximum to date!)"

 "This running group has helped me go from not being able to run to completing a 5K race in 33 minutes. I am really pleased with my progress and hope to do a 10K race next year"

 "I joined the group about a year ago. Never ran before and bit scared initially. I could only run for 30 seconds and then stop. Now I run 5K. I also suffered with high blood pressure since I started running this has gone back to normal and I feel great!!"

 "I progressed to running 1 mile within 4 weeks and lost ½ stone in weight"

 "Completed the 10K at the Run '11 and have never felt better"

"I joined in April 2011 after not doing any form of exercise for about 5 years, I am not a natural runner and I find it very hard but I love it. The group are a great bunch of ladies; the leaders are very supportive and great fun"

Comments from group leaders:

"Lead the group, very inspiring seeing new runners getting into running"  - Rushden Runners

"I run a group on Friday mornings. Great way to meet people and help people reach their goals and improve fitness" - Towcester Centre for Leisure

Get Fit & Feel Fabulous with Jog Northants

Running or even gently jogging for 30 minutes on a regular basis will make you feel fitter and look healthier in no time. So why not join our complete beginners jogging groups, designed to help novices start jogging regardless of age, size, shape or ability.

As part of 'Jog Northants' a countywide programme, and 'Run in England' a national programme, we aim to encourage people to become more active and fitter by jogging on a regular basis with likeminded people of similar fitness levels.

Our jog group sessions are always supervised and supported, organised, safe and FUN! We start with basic walk/jog sessions - so don't worry about not having jogged before, we're here to help you start from the very beginning!

You can come along to one of our Jog Group sessions on your own but why not join with a friend or colleague? Our groups offer a great opportunity to socialise whilst you're walking/jogging with people of similar abilities. If you're interested in joining a group, or even fancy leading your own group, click on one of the tabs on the left hand side for more information.
