Yes Roadrunner56 you should be very proud and pleased of yourself, I am sure you will 'sail' through C25K with no problems whatsoever with your experience of running and graduate in around 9 weeks. 😊 🏃

So you should be, Roadrunner56. I’m 62 and graduated two days ago, so keep up the good ‘work’ and have fun! 👍🏻😊

Welcome ! Just wondering - if you started this week and have done 4 runs already, are you getting enough rest in between ? Inadequate rest makes injury more likely, and no-one wants that x
