The best way to train is slowly and with support. Many people have heard of the Couch to 5K program, which builds you up over a series of weeks, alternating walking and jogging, until you are able to fully jog 5K (3 miles). From there, the world is your oyster --- train for an 8K, 10K, half or full marathon! This group is for people who want to start out slowly and build up, all while having others there to train with you, so you never feel like you're behind everyone else or up to par.
