Beginner at 60

I have just completed W2 I am very proud of myself. I am 60 this year and always hated running. Have been quite fit most of my life gyms/ aerobics etc. But tried running about 30 yrs ago and felt like there was blood at the back of my throat, in retrospect I think I was running too far and too fast. I just sort of hobble along now, saw my shadow it does look ridiculous. But never mind I’m going for it and am quite enjoying it:-))

Good for you -love the shadow bit - I’m sure you look just fine at least your out there so that’s what counts - the mental and physical benefits are enormous and the support advice and motivation on this platform is great too - good luck with it x
