First steps

GeorgeousLegsChas profile image

I’m 53 now and started jogging when I was 43. Used to run 5k regularly and 10k occasionally. Had to give it up due to joints! Really looking to get back into small distances just to get fit and lose weight.

Good luck, but remember to listen to your body and take it slow and steady
