Helping a group of people through the process whilst experiencing exactly what they were going through at the same time really helped. I could relate to how they were feeling and it pushed me on to complete the Couch to 5k programme myself.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leading a Group<strong> &#8211;<\/strong><\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s very helpful to have a group of volunteers that support me with each session. I don\u2019t see it as a big commitment, because it gives me a sense of purpose and enjoyment to see others coming through the same process that I did. Several runners from our Couch to 5k programmes offer to help out with the sessions after graduating\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benefits of being a Run Leader<\/strong> -\u201cLeading a group has been a life changing experience for me. I\u2019m now enjoying running and it\u2019s helped reduce my stress levels and improve my mental health no end. Passing on the knowledge and experience I\u2019ve gained from becoming a qualified Run Leader has been an extremely positive experience\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support from Run Wales<\/strong> -\u201cThe support I\u2019ve received from our Run Wales Activator has been superb. There\u2019s always support available whenever any questions or issues arise. Our activator visits the group regularly and helps ensure our Couch to 5k programme is running smoothly. Having an activator on hand is reassuring, especially as I had limited experience when I first qualified as a leader\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being a part of the Run Leader Network<\/strong> -\u201cLeading a running group has enabled me to make a lot of new friends in the process. I always feel like I\u2019m able to relate to other group members. I look forward to further developing my Run Leader experience and hope to inspire other members of our group to become qualified Leaders in Running Fitness in the future\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4875\" src=\"http:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-3-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-3-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-3.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4877\" src=\"http:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-2-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-2-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Big-Social-Run-2.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our latest series of #TopTips, we hear from our Qualified Run Leaders on the positive experiences that leading a running group can bring!
