Just realised that it's a year I have been runnering. I started with couch to 5k, then bridge to 10k. Looking at my first HM on 8th may.

COVID lockdown was my reason to start. I was in my mid 50's had put on over a stone and thought let's give it a try.

First 3 weeks or so took longer as I took out some time when feeling aches and pains.

Total runs 115,

Distance 718 km

Organised events 4 park runs and 10k.

Weight lose: 18lbs, although I have put some back on when I was laid up recently with COVID.

Shoes, on second pair of Mizuno Wave riders. One blue pair and one red

If I could go back a year what would I say to myself, yes you can do this. Get some proper runners and checkout healthunlocked.com as there are a lot of good information and people with advice.

Advice to anyone starting out, take it slow, listen to your body, get some proper runners and have fun. Because there is no harm in trying.
