I’m new here. I have run before but have lapsed to intermittent jogging. Any other 70 year olds out there’s? Encouragement needed. I need to lose weight and am hoping the couch25k will help!

Yes there are a few of us so you're most welcome. It's a fantastic programme, I don't think I've ever felt so physically and mentally fit. I haven't lost weight but have lost inches. Keep us posted with your progress, there is so much great advice and encouragement here.

Nice photo of you Valdow, I am now 72 years of age, have exercised, cycled and gone long walks all my life BUT only recently took up running via C25K, you will enjoy your running with us here, it's a great community. I am amazed at the number of septuagenarians (70 to 79 -year-olds) who are runners so you are not too late, of course, to start here with us. Tomorrow I will be on W9R2 and on Monday will be my graduation day.

We had an 83 year old graduate last year, so age is no barrier.
The guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Enjoy your journey.
