If Granny can do it....

Hi! I expect you have done the run by the time you read this, but I just wanted to say that I repeated week 1, as I was so unfit and out of condition (I am a 67 year old Granny!) But although 90 secs seemed an impossibility, Week 2 actually did not present any difficulty (apart from jogging uphill) so the programme really works and it is well worth sticking with it. My goal is a ParkRun with three athletic daughters, all of whom are encouraging me to the hilt.

Best of luck!

When my nine year old said to me "It's great that you are going out, Mom, I'm really proud of you," I swelled up to an enormous extent with pride, so I can only imagine how having three daughters helping you on would be!

Not what you're looking for?
