GRADUATION!

[slocs1964]

I can't actually believe I am writing this. I was the classic over weight 54 year old man who spent most of his life sitting down other than the odd game of golf. Totally unfit walking up stairs felt an effort and yet......here I am a graduate of a running app just extra ordinary. If anyone out there reads this who is in week one or two, trust me KEEP GOING it us absolutely worth it, and if I can do this any one of you can!!!

Congratulations slocs! I’m the same age as you and graduated yesterday so I know just how you feel! Isn’t it great? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️😀

Very well done! Keep on running, but for now go and bask in your glory (I still am 36 hours later!!) 👍🏻🎉🍾🥂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

[Jelon Graduate]

Well done you made it that’s brilliant congratulations. You sound a bit like my OH as he is 54 plays golf only he hasn’t started running yet!!! 😊👍🏻🏃🏻‍♂️🍾🙌

[slocs1964 in reply to Jelon]

You should shame him into it! He must see how good it is! How far have you got on the programme?

[Jelon Graduate in reply to slocs1964]

There’s no shaming some people!!! I graduated on 21st June and loving just running for fun 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️😊

[slocs1964 in reply to Jelon]

Good for you, are you still sticking to 30mins or pushing on? 👍

[Jelon Graduate in reply to slocs1964]

Whatever takes my fancy on the day so anything from 20 mins to 50mins and mixing it up with new routes (getting lost in the woods) intervals and using the stepping stones podcast. Enjoy your post grad runs 😊👍🏻

[slocs1964 in reply to Jelon]

Congratulations! There are so many of us on here who are over 50 that this programme must be one of the best things the NHS has produced for improving fitness and promoting a healthy lifestyle - and so simple! Not to mention this fantastically supportive community

[slocs1964]

I agree, maybe way should get a tax refund for being fitter lol
