Never too late

[Vonny60]

Well I hope it’s never too late! I’m 60 and have just done Day 1 of Week 1🤪🤪🤪

No never too late! Good on you! I am on W2R3 (tonight) and i have never ran voluntarily before. This program makes it possible!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to Mayanow]

Fabulous! Good for you, and you’ll love it! I’m only a little bit younger, and I’m totally bitten by the running bug!

Have fun out there!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😀❤️💪🏻

The only too late is never. I started at 67 and seem to be regularly overtaken by 75 year olds at parkruns

Good luck on your journey , I wont pretend it was / is easy but I am so pleased I took it up.

[ancientrunner Graduate]

No, and lots of us are proof. Good luck.

Great news! Welcome!

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Definitely never too late Vonny60. It’s a brilliant time to start. You might not enjoy every run but you will love the feeling that you’ve done it and that’s what keeps you going. Just take it slowly. 🐌

[Hereicome Graduate]

Ofcourse it's not. 72 and graduated on Friday!

[Mayanow in reply to Hereicome]

Wow you deginitely inspire me!

[Bettyb719 Graduate]

Definitely not too late. I’m 72 and just getting ready to do the last run of week 8. Never ran at all before starting Couch to 5K, and have amazed myself. You’ll love it! Well, I love it mainly when a run is over, but the sense of achievement is wonderful. 🤗 Go for it!

[Hereicome Graduate in reply to Bettyb719]

Sister! Doesn’t it empower you? Much better than sitting making quilts.

[Bettyb719 Graduate in reply to Hereicome]

Absolutely! Several of my friends think I’m crazy (and I’m sure I would have thought the same a few months ago). But they also think it’s crazy that I still go out to work (at a job I love, so why retire?).

Welcome to the group. I'm pushing 60 and start week 7 tomorrow. Lots of support and guidance here from a load of lovely people so keep posting and tell us how it goes. The programme is very well designed to build stamina. Trust the programme and follow it to the letter - it works!

[Vonny60]

Thanks for all your lovely messages and encouragement. I'm actually looking forward to doing it again!

[CatMo13 Graduate in reply to Vonny60]

I’m just on W1 R2 - so we can do it ‘together ‘! Good luck 😃

[Vonny60 in reply to CatMo13]

Thanks. Just Completed W1 R2. I found it a bit harder than the 1st one, and going by my Fitbit my heart rate was higher. Going to stick with it though 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

We had an 83 year old graduate last year, so you are a mere whippersnapper.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Life begins at 60!

Never too late, I'm 70 and did it and still running 🙃🌻
