That is absolutely brilliant! I am 57 and hope I can keep it up for a good few years yet! There's real satisfaction in being a late starter :)

Well done! I'm 68 and did run 2, week 5 this am. I've never been into running but work out every day for an hour. Running has definitely help my fitness apart from brownie points with my grandkids. I've signed up for a 10k in Brighton in April with my daughter-in-law? I hope I'm not being to ambitious 😮
