Maybe... a quick snippet ...

I'm sure lots of you saw the feature on BBC Breakfast this morning, re- Make Your Move

bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03m53p1

and this morning, Carole Kirkwood chatting about beginning Couch to 5K.. I tweeted her, to flag up our wonderful forum.. she replied and who knows.. she may join us! We are so awesome, she really should

Sorry if anyone has already posted this... Just found it interesting..

Good luck to her. I hope she makes the runningvprogramme known to more people. I really think a lot of people who are exercise-shy or just reluctant exercisers can really benefit from it. It isn't easy to don your running gear and head out for your first run but it is a lot easier than joining a club for a group sport, taking tennis lessons or joining a gym and it is that relatively low threshold and the sense of being in control of it yourself which makes it so accessible. It also works, with time and persistance you will run but you could spend years trying to master balls, bats, gloves and raquets and just never find the coordination. Yoga is fairly low threshold and accessible too in my opinion but doesn't give you aerobic fitness. Running is great

Just what I feel too.. she did a good marketing job on it.. and it made it seem sensible. possible, and if followed correctly perfectly enjoyable!

Running is...just amazing!

[ju-ju- Graduate]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

I think so...just raising the profile of anything to help folk feel healthier..😊

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Great - the more the merrier!

I used to be the only person out running in our village, but recently I've seen about 6 more people out there!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Me too... a few more appeared when the weather got better... but I rarely see any on my field runs...maybe they saw me running backwards that time and are giving me a very wide berth!!!

[Ullyrunner Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Mmm- you could hardly blame them!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Surely not.. I am quite harmless

[OldPossum]

Carol was the one who inspired me to have a go when I saw her talking about it in breakfast - even though I'm currently struggling I'm very grateful to her for giving me the courage to finally get out there. Thanks Carol!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

Indeed...But anything gets folk going😉

[OldPossum]

Absolutely coz if they then discover this group they'll find the podcast as I have 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Yes indeed😏 Are you getting ypur running issues sorted.

Shoes can cause real problems.I got some new ones, to replace my old faithfuls a while back..my Tigger shoes..😉 I was on the IC with a crocked knee for ten days!!! Had to go back to my old running shoes and then get some exactly the same, which I am breaking in and doing fine with😊
