I have just started and done week 1 run 2 and feel good. I was always keen on running but am now 68 and am awaiting cancer surgery, so using this as a way of getting fitter to aid my recovery.

Well done so far. I have had surgery for a GBM4 and at the moment I can walk and tend to walk quite long distances. With next week being my last week of Chemo I am going to ask the doc if I can start running to bring back the fitness I had after doing the C25K . I am only 56 years young so should be allowed to do the C25K again as long as I do it slowly.

Great job, and I love the attitude. Hope surgery goes well, this will certainly keep you fitter going into it and hopefully soon after it too.
