At 51 and 10 months I have decided to get myself moving again. Always been a sportsman but need to do something to arrest the onset of what I never wanted to become. Just finished W1R2 with Michael Johnson barking at me!

Well done for getting started - you've done the hardest bit. MJ was with me right the way through, and whilst we had a few domestics we were partners to the end. Good luck with the rest of the programme πŸ˜€πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

Cheers. I thought MJ was a little more me than Sarah Millican!

Well done! I started the C25k with Michael Johnson in April and graduated 9 weeks later. I am now running 4 times a week and feel better than I have felt in a long time. Keep going you will soon see the benefits!
