Beginner Running Groups

Everyone starts somewhere — and beginner running groups exist to make sure that “somewhere” feels supportive, achievable, and encouraging.

FitChic beginner groups are designed for people who are new, nervous, returning, or rebuilding confidence.

Who Are Beginner Groups For?

These groups are perfect if:

• You’ve never run before
• You’re returning after a long break
• You worry about being too slow
• You want guidance without pressure

You don’t need fancy gear or experience — just trainers and willingness.

What Makes a Beginner Group Different?

Beginner groups usually:

• Focus on time, not distance
• Include walking breaks
• Keep paces comfortable and conversational
• Celebrate progress, not speed

Nobody gets left behind. Ever.

Common Concerns (You’re Not Alone)

“I’ll be too slow.”
“I won’t keep up.”
“I’ll be embarrassed.”

Every beginner has felt this — and every good group understands it.

Progress at Your Pace

Many groups gently build:

• Endurance
• Confidence
• Consistency

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s turning up again next week.
