Just come back from run 1 week 9. For the first time in the whole of my 54 years I have run (slowly) for 30 minutes. This program is amazing - I never quite believed I could do it but this morning before I started I knew I could. Can't wait to go out again! 😁

That's great ... and slow is good

That's brilliant. I am right behind you. Start week 8 tonight so should easily make my target to finish before my 55the birthday. You sound like you are loving it. Keep running πŸƒ

There seems to be a lot of 50 somethings doing this app. I'm one if them and isn't it great that we can achieve these runs and feel Great! I'm loving running for the first time ever 😁

So glad to hear that! If you run slowly enough you could probably run all day. Don't try it! Yet!!! LOL

It's great isn't it! It's amazing what we can do when we learn how to do it. Folks look at me a bit strange when I say I "learned" to run, but that's what we're all doing

Not strange to us.
