Inspired.

Really pleased with myself. Did my usual 5K run and did my best time, 33mins. Not bad for a 14stone bloke, who's 64 next month.

So if there are any Senior people out there that are new to this Podcast, this shows YOU can do it. Stick at it and listen to Laura. Cheers, Mel.

[Bazza1234 Graduate]

Good on you -- that is about the pace that this 68YO does 5K in. Slow but steady!! I would never have dreamed that I would be running 5Klm "races" at my age - at any pace!!

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Well done Coope - bet you don't know many people your age who can do that!

[Hidden in reply to Ullyrunner]

No I dont. Soooo pleased.

[Hidden in reply to Vixchile]

Thank you Vixchile. I'm trying to get to 30 mins.

[Vixchile Graduate in reply to Hidden]

You will get to that target, the secret really is to get the miles under the belt. Sure you can do other things to help but you are definitely in reaching distance of getting that time. Happy running
