Week 3 R1

I didn’t even imagine I’d be doing this a year ago. Im 64, over 4 stones lighter than this time last year with 2 stones to go. It may get hard but I’ve got a running buddy, my husband , who does Parkrun and the odd 10k. He’s very patient.

Sound like you are making excellent progress, enjoy it. I too have a very supportive husband who runs with me at my very slow pace, even though he has run marathons! I try not to judge myself by his standards and like you remind myself that I am fitter and doing more than I ever did a year ago. I am only managing one run a week because of long working days, but at least it is progress. I will be doing W5r1 this weekend so fingers crossed that the mild weather continues

Well done. I’ve just completed W3R2 . Week 4 looks scary but I’ve got this far.
