Just completed wk2r1. Quite amazed at myself! I'm 63 and have never done anything like this before. Hope I can keep it up.

Well done Paraloopy, When I was at this stage I had the runs in my diary so I knew when I was going. There is also an mental element to it as well If you think you can you will :-)

Good luck and keep running

Well done for getting started Paraloopy. There's quite a few of us oldies in the group. If we can do it, so can you. Just take it at your own pace and come back here when you want to share a triumph or need support and inspiration.

Good Luck!

Encouraging to hear that so many of you are successful! Intend to take it steady and expect to have to repeat weeks but determined to get there!

It's awesome to read something like this, it's genuinely inspiring - I'm only 20 but am working my way through it, but seeing so many people like yourself do this, and be successful at that, is brilliant!

All the best with it!
