Started week 4 today with Run 1 and felt great. At 68 years of age I feel like a new man.

Great job... you’ve probably lowered your fitness age already. Keep enjoying it and onwards.

Started on C25k on 23 May and have now done a 6k; as a 66 year old I am right with you. It does feel great, and age is no reason why we shouldn't, in time, run as far as we want. Just a question of sticking to the plan, not running too quickly and giving any injury time to heal. Stepping back a couple of weeks or so in the plan for any reason, particularly after an injury break, is also fine; I beat myself up over having to miss runs at one stage but have learned; it is not a race....well not yet anyway. Keep enjoying it.👍
