10k run. Doing good so far have 5 runs under my belt. Not at great length or speed. But improving every run. So as long as knee joints hold I'm confident I can do the 10k next June for the British heart Foundation ππ thanks for all the support everyone. π

Well done. I am sure you will make that challenge next June
Fantastic. I started the running journey 18 months ago and it's been brilliant on so many levels. A real surprise has been what I guess is the strengthening of my joints. I had knee pains going down stairs and the beginnings of a left hip joint problem. I thought these issues might be a limiting factor when I started Couch to 5k. But my joints are no longer an issue. I started with Parkruns after completing C25K and did my first 10k The Naseby Battlefield Run a month ago and it was really uplifting. I run quite slowly, but as I've built up the distance my Parkruns have improved. But...... 'Its a Run not a Race' . Enjoy every run . (M age 71!)
That sounds positive and you doing great. I'll not be fast runner either. Used to be in past life π but knowing that there's light at the end of the tunnel is enough for me. I'm 67 in December πππ€π
I'll be 64 on the 16th December - my brain still thinks it's a lot younger though and I get a bit of shock sometimes when I catch sight of myself in the mirror! π€£π
That's amazing! I'm sure you'll smash it!
You are amazing Keep on running β€οΈ

Thanks I'm a longway away yet. but I'm going to give it my best shot and hope the joints hold!! β€οΈπͺX
I really enjoy reading your updates, 22Alifie! You're doing so well and should be proud of yourself and all your efforts. It's so encouraging, and inspirational, for everyone to read about what can be achieved and also how much you're enjoying it. Onwards and upwards! πππ»Carol x
14 weeks post OHS and valve replacement ...... my goal is to get running again but my lung is complaining! ...... lets see if I can join you all next year for BHF run!
Hi, where is it and how can I take part? Thanks
I'll definitely do one. I am (or was?) a marathon runner trying to get my fitness back after a you know what. Small steps etc.
