Good for you! πŸ™‚

You only need to go very slowly. No need for speed at all for this fab programme

Have fun! Take your time and you should be fine. Carry those words with you til Graduation! πŸ˜ƒ

Good luck! I'm 48 and started week 1 last week after about 15 years of very little exercise. Take it at your own pace, don't worry about being "too slow". Let us know how you get on.

Good luck. I am also 54 and until this year had never run not even for a bus - they are so frequent in London it's not worth it. One run short of graduation and I am so pleased I did this.

Slow, steady and have a super journey! Keep posting and good luck!

I'm 55 and recently graduated. Trust me (and the programme) if I can do it, so can you :) Let us know how it goes.

You can do it! Don't forget to breathe!

Had to miss out on 1st run this evening, I'm a foster carer and had an issue with one of my little ones, hopefully start tomorrow, thanks all for the encouragement.

Not what you're looking for?
