jogscotland Introduction jogscotland has been urging the people of Scotland to don their trainers and adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle since 2002. Since then, over 35,000 people have taken up jogging through our local community and work place groups by using simple, gentle walk/ jog/ run programmes to encourage everyone to get out and be active.
Established by scottishathletics, the governing body of athletics in Scotland, and supported by NHS Health Scotland, sportscotland and the Scottish Government Active Scotland Div., jogscotland is Scotland’s national recreational running network.
Running for the health of it Exercising regularly boosts energy levels, enhances self-esteem and aids long-term weight loss. What’s more, being more active has a host of specific health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, strokes, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. So what are you waiting for? A slight change in lifestyle can make a big difference to health at any time, regardless of age, fitness level or ability. It is also proven to have mental health benefits.
Our Programmes jogworks jogscotland can help increase the activity levels of your employees and avoid some of the crucial issues affecting today’s sedentary organisations. Promoting healthy, active lifestyles throughout your organisation will help to:
Increase profitability and productivity, reduce absenteeism costs, reduce stress levels and improve morale, develop and improve social interaction, create a positive corporate image to attract and retain high calibre employees
Mums on the Run Mums on the Run is our exercise programme designed specifically for expectant and new mums with buggies. Getting back into exercise after having a baby can be an uphill struggle. With reduced sleep and trying to get into a new routine, exercise may seem like the last thing on your mind.
Junior jogscotland
Junior jogscotland provides a fun and simple way to get children active through a range of games suitable for primary school-aged children.
The programme of running-related games can be used for as little as a 10 minute run-around for youngsters to let off steam, to more sustained running games. The games are a great way to show children that physical activity is fun, and will appeal to even the most unsporty of youngsters. It is also a great way to introduce youngsters to different athletics activities and can improve agility, balance and coordination skills.
Jogscotland community groups – volunteer lead groups based around Scotland aimed at all levels of ability.

What does this course cover:
This course will prepare you to lead safe and enjoyable running experiences to people
aged 16 upwards. The course will explore the British Athletics Athlete Development Model and how it
relates to appropriate delivery of running activities. You will practice the skills of Safety, Organisation, Instruction and Explanation and
Demonstration in the delivery of all parts of a session. You will examine the role and responsibilities of a leader and how this affects Individual
Centred delivery. You will learn the correct model for endurance running. The course will explore why some people are put off joining a running group and ways in
which clubs and leaders might overcome these barriers and encourage new members.
At the end of the course there will be an opportunity to consider how and where you might wish to apply your leadership skills and the support available.
Your qualification as a Jog Leader will provide you with insurance to lead your group within the limits of the course content and may encourage you to consider further training as a coach. This workbook is designed for you to keep a record of useful ideas that you collect as you complete the course. The tutors will give you opportunities to note down ideas after each session.
The workbook is divided into the sessions that are covered on the course and there is plenty of room to record your learning. It is not compulsory to complete the workbook however if you feel it will help you to capture your learning and the key points from the course please do so. It is your own personal record of learning and will not be checked.
If you have any questions write them at the back of the workbook. Many questions that you have may be answered as you go through the course, if not, then you can check with the tutors at the end the day.
