Me too, a large gap and weight gain to prove it 🙄 but now getting back into it. Slowly and steady - that’s me 😊😊

Well done, I have not done any since Dec as I hurt my back, local running club are doing a couchto5k starting next week so I am going along. Feel very apprehensive as a 68 year old but determined to go as I can’t get motivated to do it on my own, hopefully I manage to keep up.

Well done, you’ll get there. We all have to start somewhere, and I have found this program the best so far- gentle and not pressurised. Having just passed our local parkrun event this morning - adults with young children (ideas for my grandchildren?) thought I might even have a go at this when I have achieved a few more sessions. Enjoy whichever way you choose to do it.

That’s my goal to do a parkrun.

You & me both! Well done for starting again.
