How do I tell my body it’s 59 not 19
I’m into wk3 r2 and first two runs I definitely take off a little too quick. My brain says I can run like I did in my teens but my body doesn’t agree

Start with a hill..it will soon agree with your body!
Your body will soon let you know if it is anything like mine ! I am 60..
So if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Good old Kate Bush
You’re doing great... no idea how fit you were 40 years ago, but you can beat it.
It gets better- just keep going and the results will amaze you week on week- you are still at an early stage- you can do it!
Thanks for all the encouraging comments. When I first started I thought I was too old but having read comments on these boards I don’t feel alone agewise
Three weeks ago I struggled to run a minute. Now I can see the benefits already
I’m 64 and I have the same problem. I keep repeating slow, slow, slow when I start a run and it seems to help. Good luck.
Aha, yes! Frustrating sometimes isn’t it? But give your body a good talking to - you want to be able to enjoy your runs and not risk injury. 😀
I watch gazelles spring past me, have a momentary feeling of envy, then realise I’m 54, not 24, and continue snailing on my way!
Have fun out there! 👍😀
