Good luck. Can u believe it al started for me from a chat to a stranger in Sainsburys cafe

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to fayecheshire]

I start week 4 tomorrow. Never done anything physical before and I'm 56! Challenge from a work colleague got me going 😉

I used to do stuff at the gym but not anything only walking for the last year. Hoping to do bodytone and aqua fit if I can force myself to go. I am 63 so don t wan t to go downhill!!

I feel the same! Cannot quite believe I am doing this - but you are, we are, and it's us!

[fayecheshire in reply to Sadie-runs]

What week are you on Sadie? I am doing Vandersoft app. You end on wk 9 with a forty min ru.n.

[Sadie-runs Graduate in reply to fayecheshire]

I am using the NHS Couch to 5k app. I think with this you end in week 9 and running for 30 mins continuous, then work on pace to get to 5k (but I may be confused about that lol!)

[fayecheshire in reply to Sadie-runs]

Yes u are right. I queried my app. One reply said c25k is a fancy nae to get you up to 30 min runs. I think i do 30 mins on week eight run two.

I think either way so long as we run and make progress without getting injured.

Keep up the good work

[Sadie-runs Graduate in reply to fayecheshire]

That's the key! To run safely and steadily. I find the programme perfectly pitched (so far) and not overwhelming, just challenging. You keep up the good work too, Faye!

[fayecheshire in reply to Sadie-runs]

Will do and checkin next week see how everyone is getting on
