I am not a runner- true or false 😂

[Bayview13]

Hi. I’ve always said I’m not a runner !!! But I need a new challenge to get those endorphins going. Just turned 58 years young and hopefully doing my first very gentle triathlon next year. Any tips for the old and crinkly novices would be appreciated

You’re not a runner... true. You can be a runner... true. You will be a runner... your call, but nothing to stop you. Biggest tip is go slow!

Life has changed.

Good luck.
