Inspiration

[SueAppleRun]

We've just watched The Human Race documentary, I saw a post about it the other day If you want inspiration do watch this. There's a woman of 80 yrs old who ran a half marathon in over an hour less than I would expect to.

Run happy everyone or rest well

[Oldlady64 Graduate10]

Oh, that sounds really good, I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

I plan to watch it again the last day I work, sure it'll get me out the next morning, it's on YouTube

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Thanks👍

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

I'll take a look..seeing as I'm getting closer to 80!! X

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I felt so emotional when watching, it's in YouTube the full film

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Ooh definitely sounds like one to watch!Thank you 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

Oddly enough I thought it might have been your post, there's a lot of women runners but men too, I found it on YouTube and also found that my phone did magic and with a couple of taps I can watch anything that's on the phone on the TV, so we both watched it

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Haha, oddly enough so did I 🤣I remember posting about a program some time ago but couldn't remember what it was called ... Just had a quick look at the one you mentioned and don't think it's the same one 🤔😂

You've got me curious now about the one I posted about some time ago .

Think it may have been on Netflix

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

I'll just have to find your post now and look it up, poor Willow, he didn't set out to be inspired 🤣 but I heard mutterings of running yesterday, it's a strange time for me, I spent most of last year saying, when I retire I'm going to train for a half marathon, then a couple of weeks ago I thought if I left it too long I would be too old so emailed my notice over straight away, spent the next few days tearfully wondering what I'd done and if it was the right decision, then got down to planning 😃

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Haha, yes retirement is a big decision... It's one I'm also contemplating.I only really work part time ATM so it's not too bad .

I Still have the HM on the list also 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

I don't know why but it'll give me something to do while waiting for the old lady stuff and Zimmer frame 🤣

Looking for the Human Race, found a horror film and a documentary about a race in Australia - is it the latter?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

I tried and tried to link it here, best I could do was a screenshot, if you type The Human race documentary into Google or YouTube search you should find it, and yes I nearly watched that horror movie

Thank you

[Sulley101 Graduate10]

Thanks for the suggestion- will definitely take a look. I think your plan to train for a HM when you retire is a great idea. I found that when I retired, I still woke up early every morning, so running has given me something to do while my other half has a lie in! (Beats housework!)

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Sulley101]

He's so going to love that idea 🤣 but.... He's promised to come with me on the shorter runs, so I'll build back up with lots of 20 minute runs, he can walk them, can't have me being fit and energetic and him not can we? 😃

[Sulley101 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

😂 👍sounds like a plan!

[Rungranny 60minGraduate]

Is it on Netflix?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Rungranny]

I didn't find it on Netflix, I found it on YouTube

[waterabbit in reply to Rungranny]

Finally managed to copy link

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

sounds like one to watch

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

So I watched it today !Thanks for posting, it was a good documentary 😊👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Instructor57]

😃I enjoyed it too

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Ooo…I will have to watch this.

I retired on my 65th birthday…and ran W1R1 of C25k the next day…not having run since my school days 😊

…perhaps we’ll all have to train for a HM together? 😉

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

I'm 67 now, I suddenly realised if I left it much longer there wouldn't be a half marathon in these legs, so snap decision and sent my notice immediately, so roll on May and I'd love to train virtually together, I'm thinking Nike Run Club HM plan 😃

And definitely take the time to watch that documentary, parts of it brought tests of pride to my eyes

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m 68 this year 😳…I was thinking NRC too. I’m into week 6 of the 10k plan…bizarrely you run 10km at the end of week 5, then it carries on for another 2 weeks (10 further runs). I’m doing all the runs, but spread over 2 or 3 a week. A virtual training club sounds like fun!🥰

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to LottieMW]

I've got a few weeks to go yet but let's 🙂

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to SueAppleRun]

…accountability!!!
