Just Starting

[mateinone]

Hi to all

Just starting out, 42, dodgy ankles, have not ran in years & overweight.

But hey figured this would be a good challenge, I do go to the gym or a walk when I can (which means not often), but starts next week, hopefully successfully

Hi. I’m 45, a fellow newbie (I’ve just finished week one), overweight, have never run before and have dodgy knees - why are we doing this? Because we are going to feel great after each run, we will feel fitter and have more energy, and maybe lose a few inches. You can and will do it

Thank you

And yeah you are right, it should be great after each run (fingers crossed)

Well done, I am just end of wk 2 so not far ahead of you but I am thoroughly enjoying it, we will do this

Hiii! I’m the same age as you and started in January with the scales on the unkind side of heavy!! I graduated about a month ago and have toned up loads. (I follow the slimming world plan too) I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done...both for my physical and mental health. Embrace the program, go for it and keep posting to let us know how you’re doing! (This forum is non judgmental and amazingly supportive 👍🏻) 🤗

I can give you 30 years and made it - if I can do it, anyone can - enjoy the experience - it will make a huge difference to your life....
