I did it! I can't believe my local park has got so small and I have to go round the inside, round the outside, round the streets, back round the park inside and out without stopping. Only repeated one week. No injuries. At age 55, never a runner, about a stone overweight and 2 years plus with Slimming World (ongoing) I finally feel I'm taking control. As they say, it doesn't get easier - you just get fitter. To everyone trying and not really believing it can work for you - follow the programme, trust it, ignore the gremlins, look after your body and you
will
do
it
Now thinking what is next. Park run to book, and the next progress app I think.

Well done join the 'pat on the back' club. We deserve it and its only us that know the exhilerating feeling of completing each week and then the whole lot. 😊😊😊
Congratulations! You are right that it doesn't get any easier but as someone who was very unfit when I started, I can now see/feel my fitness levels improving.
Thank you all for your lovely comments (takes rapturous applauses and exits stages left) - I've been laughing and running to Goon Show re-runs as I've got bored with mindless running music...
