Hi, I am new to running at the age of 57. I always said I would never run but so many friends are getting so much from running I thought I would give it a go. I have completed week 3 but have a heavy cold so waiting to start week 4. I am loving it so far! It’s great to read everyone’s help and support for each other.

Welcome,

Great job on the three weeks, hopefully the cold won’t keep you down long. Keep loving it.

I started at 58, and did my first 10K last weekend! I’ve not regretted one minute of starting running. Keep going 🏃‍♀️👍

I started the worse side of 51 saying id never run. I love how it makes me feel the whole day with more energy. Looking forward to W3 next week.
