Hi
I have just completed third run of week 1 and feeling quite proud of myself. I am 67 never done any running before although I do cycle and swim. First two runs were at the gym but today I plucked up the courage to go to my local park so quite pleased. My aim is to complete a Race for Life next year. Hope week 2 goes as well as week 1.
Well done for getting on it at 67 - you are not alone here - most of us are no spring chickens (though we may feel like it still)! Stick with Laura, the programme and us and you'll be fine for that race for life!
Thanks for the support. Don't know whether I will do it in 9 weeks but I will give it a good try.
I took 17 weeks, and I'm only 49! Take it at whatever pace is right for you x
Brilliant, my mum is on week 4 and she's loving it.. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress

Onwards to Week 2 , Good Luck xxx
Dear Laura, Well done!
I have just started the programme too and I am 65 and nine months!. I don't really run because of my bronchiectasis. BUT, I thought I can do this in the gym on the static bike. I started with apprehension because I get short of breath. although I came near during the intense biking, it was still tolerable. I was glad to be able to go into catching up for 90 seconds. I really feel exhilarated. I want to carry on, on the static bike. One thing I must do is to press the button to convert into km rather than .065 miles! I hope you love it too. Well done Laura. Good to be proud of one's achievements!
Week 1 done!
