Good luck to you both. I will be doing that run too, looking forward to wearing a curly Scouse wig, (I’ll be going for the pink one!) Enjoy the journey, the program really works 👍

Thanks what week are you on I haven’t booked it yet £20 each but looks like a good day and a good goal to aim for

[owmeknees in reply to Rolo41]

I graduated about 2 months ago but for the last month I’ve been managing a few niggles and needed to take a couple of weeks out. Been back out running this past week though and seem to be recovering. Good luck 👍

Welcome! Brilliant that you've decided to do the programme. Everyone is very friendly and helpful here so do post let us know how you're getting on. The programme might seem a bit of a stretch sometimes but trust it - it works!

I’m 67 & took this system up about 4 weeks ago....I find it excellent for keeping the pace down, useful tips, & I didn’t know that we should run from the heel rather than on our toes so we’re never too old to learn! I just want to stay active, be able to take stairs at a run &, as all the advice for decades has been that proper exercise for so many hours a week extends our lives, I’d like to give myself a fighting chance! I feel sorry for those I know & see who, in their 40s are so overweight that they’re using a cane & some go on to develop Diabetes. How do they not hear the advice?
