Well done you - I sometimes get that on the treadmill. I go up to 3mph and think yeah, I could go faster - I haven't tried it yet, but now you have... 
100m is a fair distance too - i think I would struggle at half that distance at full pelt!

The last time I ran was about 3 years ago when I was running with my daughters for the last train at Victoria Station. I must admit I was a bit puffed out as I smoked at the time !
A year later I gave up smoking and 3 months later diagnosed with very severe emphysema. I couldn't walk 100 yards, let alone run.
I can normally walk maybe 100 yards on a good day before I have to rest. The medicines I'm on do seem to help a lot but today I was feeling really good. Hence the urge to run.
OMG, well done! But, please, don't take my place in the queue for an ATOS assessment 
Hehe.
Beware of the urge's at your age, you never know what lies around the corner. Lol xx
Run? Most impressed I was with you in spirit, really I was !
fibber!
I was too! I had a gin and frolic in my hands at the time ..............
You do make me laugh. I wish I could wriggle out of things like you do.
Love you still
Bobby xxxx
Practice, dear Bobby and mostly because I keep getting into hot water and have to
Love you more xx
You're a Lobster ? 
More of an oyster really
Some really shellfish people on here y'know
Give us a squid and I'll tell you who
Well done puff, just keep puffing whatever you do
I try to be optimistic. It does help.
I get exhausted just thinking about anything let alone running 
Well I'm an unfit 63 year old so I was quite pleased with myself.
Gold star on its way to you
Those were the days my friend........... Well done. x
Next marathon here I come !!
Very well done you, it's a great feeling when you do something like this and when you feel as good again try 150yds and so on this is what me and Tony dall05 do we have broke more records than the summer Olympics, Tony is known as the Chris Hoy of Malvern. mattcass
Well done.
I go to the gym 3 times a week, walk on the other days.
I really believe the more exercise you do the better you can breath.
I have not had a chest infection for 2 years now, I'm sure its because of the exercise I do.
But make sure you don't over do it

Keep it up slade as it works for me too. Exercise I believe is better than any pill they will give you.
Well done Puff. I had my copd check a few days ago and asked her how come some days I have energy and others I have very little. She said it is the copd. But I still can't understand how it can vary so much!

Hi Puff, Half your luck, I was forced to give up any sort of running, apart crossing the road (and avoiding oncoming traffic - about 25-30 metres), long ago. The legs are OK but the tubes Not! Stay well Martin
Blimey, I can't run 5 yards!
!I WISH! Another chest infection, and my walking is getting more difficult. Just hoping PR will help. Any thoughts
well done puff, i get like that some days and when i feel like that i really go for it and my other half loves it has i will do things like clean the oven (which i hate doing) garden clean windows and if on treadmill can do that bit extra.
well done just hope i can do what you did when im 63
I'm not sure yet Lynne as Ive just woken up. I'll let you know !
For someone who doesn''t keep fit I was surprised although since going to PR about a 6 months ago I do push myself more than I did when I smoked. My job requires a bit of walking and once I start I seem to find it easier to breath as my shift goes on. Maybe it's the fresh air !
I sometimes do 10 lengths of my small lawn and stop at that, any more and I'm struggleing to recover for quite sometime. I have found my limit and I try and stick to it. Its just a good feeling to find that you can still run even its for a very short distance. At least I know I could get myself out of trouble when crossing the road etc.
Tony.
Good for you. I know you are on the waiting list but at least you try and improve your lot.
No point in sitting around waiting for god is there. Iv'e already rattled his gates but was refused entry luckily so I'm doing everything to keep another visit at bay.
well done pleased for you x
