Community Couch to 5K Running Group in Norwich
Based at Eaton Park in Norwich, We provide free of charge, community couch to 5k running programmes.

About the project
Running is often seen as the domain of super-fit athletes or marathoners. But Dudley, a passionate advocate for accessible fitness, is working to change that narrative. Through his work at Eaton Park in Norwich, Dudley is showing that running can be for anyone – regardless of fitness level – and can be a powerful tool for improving both physical and mental wellbeing.
I’m Dudley, the coach
Head Coach Dudley Garner, suffered a life changing brain injury in 2009 which ended his career and life as he knew it. Running saved Dudleys life.

“Before starting the course, I was way to self conscious to consider running alone, I had no idea how to pace myself so would quickly burn out and feel failure. The group is vital for support, motivation and to learn how to run.”
“It is an excellent way to meet people in a safe, equal environment. Everyone is there to
support each other and to listen. It’s a great way to talk when you’re not face to face.”
