Start the C25K programme! Like many other who were struggling with health, fitness and sometimes just aspects of life in general, I could barely run for 90 seconds a few months ago. Now I find that 30 minutes really is doable and I am determined not just to finish the programme, but to carry on to 10km. I’m 49 in a few weeks and definitely feel fitter than I did when

I was 29! For anyone out there who is wondering or doubting themselves, YOU CAN DO IT! Oh, and week 7, run 1 in the bag this morning, with 5 new personal records as an unintended bonus ! ;-)

It's such a fab' programme - I'm practically evangelical about it.
