Holland & Barrett has launched ‘Monday Miles’, beginner-friendly run clubs from stores across the UK to encourage people to take their first step into running while raising funds for Sport Relief.

Starting at the H&B store in Manchester on July 21, the run will be hosted by The Running Charity which is funded by Comic Relief, who introduces young people that are experiencing homelessness to the power of fitness.

Each H&B session will expertly coach all attendees through the course and teach them the positive benefits of running. The initiative is designed to encourage people who have never run before, or who might feel intimidated by traditional running groups.

Participants are encouraged to arrive at the store from 6:00pm, ready for a 6:30pm run start. Each session includes a warm-up led by expert coaches, before running along a planned route that loops back to the start location for the coaches to provide feedback while ensuring no one is left behind.

Expert advice will be offered along the way on posture and form, as well as guidance on cooling-down and products to aid recovery at the finish line.

All runners will receive a goody bag upon the completion of the run worth up to £65, packed with H&B goodies.
