I started off my running journey with StokeFIT Couch25k in Jan 2019, I walked in on my own no clue what to expect. 

That first run for me was hard but amazing, I was overweight, the most unfit I’ve ever been and not done exercise except walking the dog since school. 
But I stuck with it and graduated and the support along the way was the best support I’ve ever had, the encouragement and advise from some fabulous runners is amazing, even if you don’t get to club every week whenever you turn up your made so welcome. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done, it helped my mental health too which is always a bonus.
