Why ZERO - 5K is Different
START FROM ZERO
Never ran before? No problem. We meet you exactly where you are, whether that's walking, jogging, or somewhere in between.
FLEXIBLE TIMING
45-minute sessions, but finish whenever you're ready. No pressure, just progress.
PERSONAL SUPPORT
I'll be running the loops with you, offering encouragement and guidance every step of the way. You're never alone on this journey.
GUIDED ROUTES
Follow our carefully planned routes. Every step is designed to build your confidence progressively.
YOUR OWN PACE
Set your own weekly running targets. Walk some, run some, it's all progress toward your 5K goal.
SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
Be part of our supportive community, where connection happens through our WhatsApp group, group runs, and shared celebrations
Every runner starts with a single step. We'll help you take 5,000 more.
How It Works
1 / MEET & PREPARE
Join us every Wednesday at 6:15PM at Fitness4Less Southwark. We start with warm-up drills and dynamic stretches to get your body ready, then hit the roads together as a supportive community.
2 / RUN OUR CONTROLLED LOOP SYSTEM
Follow our 1km loop route, repeated 5 times to complete your 5K. This unique format puts you in control, allowing you to decide your distance each week based on how you're feeling. Run 1 loop, 3 loops, or all 5, building gradually at a safe, injury-free pace as your fitness improves.
3 / PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN PACE
Start at our guided 6:00/km pace with a coach always accompanying the last runner, so you're never alone. Slow down when needed, speed up as you gain confidence and familiarity with the route. Week by week, you'll build toward conquering the full 5K.
