Well done Len in starting this C25K training program, you beat me by two years, I started C25K in April this year, a month before my 72nd birthday, yes, I agree, it's never too late to start running or for that matter starting exercising, in general, to keep healthy and fit.

Wow Len1945, the programme is brilliant, so pleased you’re enjoying it. I found it excellent. The Parkruns are great fun, loads of support and encouragement - keep on running. So glad to welcome another septuagenarian to the fold, it’s a great place to be. Totally addicted to running! Very strange place to be after all these years 😎.
Good for you! Enjoy!
