Brilliant well done Grampa that’s really encouraging. I have just completed W5 R1 this morning and will use your inspiration to spur me on for the big step up in runs 2 and 3. Being a grandad myself and not having run for 35 years since injury ended my football days I get an idea of just how much effort, energy and determination you have put in to achieve this success and hope I can match your level of success later this week.

Well done Grampa...I have just done the 20min run as well, amazed myself as I have never been a runner before and am approaching 60.
