I used to say I could never run. When I did I had shin splints and hurt so much and felt all wrong. I’m in my 60’s various health complaints but after type 2 diagnosis and starting weight of 13stone 2 - I was given info on this app. I’ve been brisk walking in my home every morning. I’m up to 3 sets of 10 but on good days I do more. It sets me up for the day. I have bought barefoot trainers and when mornings get lighter I intend to brisk walking outside! I’m down to 10.3 stone. Hoping to reverse diabetes.

Ooh I love a barefoot shoe too! (Running cured my shin splints!)

Definitely worth getting outside as soon as you can, but I feel strongly that a good fitness and wellbeing regime is all about the art of the possible, doing what you CAN do and you have reminded me about walking indoors.

Well done veggichick 👏👏👏👏

I’m W3 D3 into C25K @ 64 I’m trying not to be intimidated by the runners. I’m enjoying the process and getting out of my comfort zone. Well done you. Exercise is exercise, fresh air in your lungs, exploring your local community. Keep up the great work so far 🙏
