Tried to run but nearly went flying this weather will mess my routine up! Any advice? Was raring to go but it’s too icy! Looking like it’s gonna be like this for a while. Are others affected?

Just don't run in icy conditions, if you have a gym nearby you could use their treadmill, better to postphone your run than running and having a nasty fall.

The reason I began C25K in April last year was the weather, I am 72 and have gone long walks during the winter months and cycle during the Spring and summer. I knew from experience just to delay the start of C25K until the Spring.

72! Amazing well done you! I know, it was a bad time to start..rain, cold, wind no problem but ice! Will see what the weather does over the next few days and if no better will get myself to the gym. They doing a deal with no contract so for January an maybe Feb il do that as feel I need to carry on. If I stop I may not start again!
