We have had children running with parents and last year we had an 83 year old graduate.

This poll is probably the best answer to your question healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

I was 57 I started C25K.

I started last year at 43. I’m 44 now and enjoy the odd run with my 9 year old Son.

Good for you, starting young - wish I had. It will set you up for a really healthy adult life. I did it at 52 and now running 3 times a week at 53 and just joined a running club for the first time in my life! Just think how far you can go, starting at your young age 😀

51. On to week 9, run 1. Can’t believe I’ve stuck to it , gone out every other day without fail !

My height of 4”11.5 says I’m an average 10 year old so I go off that but my legs after doing a 5k tell me I’m definitely very close to 47, 😂😂😂.

*coughs loudly* (because too short to get attention otherwise)

I think you'll find 10 year olds are 4'7" - 140cm. I know because that's what it says on my jeans :P. 146cm is 11, I often buy that age for the fit!

I'm 34 and last year someone canvassing asked if my parents were in 🤣

in reply to icklegui

Tut don’t say that I’ll have to start acting older then, lol.

oh yes, you've got to mature at least a year, maybe a year and a half 😜 - or if you like you could really indulge and act as old as a stroppy teen (or was that just my teenage years... naah, can't have been just me!)

in reply to icklegui

Lol well I have plenty of muses I could model myself on ‘being a stroppy teenager’ I work in a high school years 10/11 and omg they know how to take monumental strops 🤣😂🤣
