Just finished run 1 of week 3. A bit tougher than previous 2 weeks but I'm still upright, so won't complain..!! 😁

I turned 50 in June and wouldn't know exercise if it bit me on the bum 😳 but I'm determined not to let my running partner (20 years my junior) get the better of me..!! 😂

Stick with it and you'll be amazed what you achieve.

Age doesn't really matter as almost anyone can do it. I'm nudging 50 and running more than I've done since I left school.

Thank you trevorjl, I'm pretty amazed already to be honest - my legs have never understood the concept of moving beyond a meandering pace 🙄

I'm looking forward to the day when I can run with relative 'ease'.

Keep it slow and steady... and just let the running partner get the better of you... a journey... not a race

I am 68... my Son in Law is 35... he is younger....faster.... lither....and has a lot more style.. but I... can keep on running when he is tired out

Oh we do, and I am thankful she's just as decrepit as I am..... at the moment 😂

I completed c25k and I am 70. I did find I needed to take 2 rest days towards the end or I had some issues with my knees though

Well done lynnepaul, I can't wait for the day when I can say "I did it"..!!

My mum is 70 and she struggles even to walk round Asda. I just couldn't cope with struggling like that 20 years down the line - so I shall sit on my back side no longer 😁
