WISHH Couch to 5k Challenge

New year, new goals, new motivation!

Fancy getting fitter in the new year but not sure where to start? Or perhaps you’ve been meaning to take up running for ages but need a little extra motivation to get going?

Join the WISHH Couch to 5K Challenge and turn your new year’s resolutions into something that makes a real difference!

Whether you’ve never run before or are looking to get back into exercise, this challenge is about taking things at your own pace, building your confidence and celebrating every milestone along the way. And by fundraising for WISHH, you’ll be helping us make a difference to patients, families and staff at Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital, too.

What is Couch to 5K?

Couch to 5K is a free, beginner-friendly running plan designed to help you gradually build up to running 5K. The NHS programme takes around nine weeks, with three runs a week, starting with a mixture of walking and short bursts of running before gradually increasing the distance. You don’t need to be fit to start, and you can take things at a pace that works for you.

Find out more and access the free plan on the NHS Couch to 5K website.

Run for you. Fundraise for WISHH.

We know that sticking to new year’s resolutions can be tricky, so why not give yourself an extra reason to keep going? By joining Team WISHH, you’ll have a personal goal to work towards while raising money to support our local hospitals.

You choose your own fundraising target. Whether you aim to raise £50, £100 or more, every pound will help us make a difference.

You don’t need to be a runner, and you don’t need to take on the challenge alone. Why not get friends, family or colleagues involved and encourage each other along the way?
