Well no more couch potato me - Iโ€™M A RUNNER!! ๐ŸŽ‰ Did my last run today of the programme and for the first time ever ran 5k. I want to shout from the rooftops and tell everybody how wonderful this programme is. Nearly 60, overweight and lots of health issues but the weight is going and the health issues improving. Unfortunately canโ€™t do anything about the age though!!

Thank you every single one of you wonderful people on this forum who have inspired, educated and encouraged me without you I wouldnโ€™t have done this ๐Ÿค—

Effectively you are also doing something about the age... chronological age canโ€™t be conquered but your fitness age can!
