I am in my 8th decade, and into my third week of c25k. Being lucky enough to being in reasonably good health, I am finding to going quite easy so far and feeling the benefits already.

Well done boblit. I enjoyed it to and didnt find it too difficult once I settled down to it. I started in May this year. Not got quite as many decades having only 6. Today I ran 8.5k and although tired now its another achievement and I'm a happy bunny😁🐇

Wow! You make me feel like a mere youth! I started last December age 71, took several months to finally get to the end, have now joined a local running club and still try to get out 3 times a week for a run (slow jog!). You and I are very lucky to be able to do this at our ages so make the most of it, as I am trying to do. I have found my local running club super friendly and welcoming even to an oldie (the oldest member is your age) and I have now also done 6 Saturday morning Parkruns. I'm a very slow Parkrunner but no-one minds, and even though I am near the back there are always people there to cheer me past the finishing post. Look at posts on this forum by Oldfloss - she tells everyone to go slow and steady, listen to her advice and more importantly listen to your body. Enjoy the journey and keep posting.
