Hi all. I'm 47 but sometimes feel about 65. I am starting today on my treadmill and will get out and about when i get more confidence.

I am 52 and after a terrible year at work felt on my last legs physically and mentally in December. Started this in January and it has been fabulous. Get out there as soon as you can - you will smash it.

I tried a treadmill.... Found it more difficult because of all the button pushing... so I shuffle on the pavements and enjoy it hugely. I was quite self conscious until I realised that nobody even gave me a second glance (this was after the first 30 seconds of jogging) I am soooo glad I did especially with the nice weather recently. Good luck with whatever choice you make.... Hope you have as much fun doing this as the rest of us

Hi there, I did my first one with Sarah Millican!!

I set my treadmill to a fast walk and then "ran" at the same speed. Almost killed me, but i did it😁

Well done! You are on your way... the difficult bit (starting) already nailed

Good luck. I am at Week 2 with run 3 due tomorrow. I did run 2 yesterday and i ache like billio today. Ive got a head cold too that doesnt help. I have never run in my life but was attracted to the simplicity of it (no fees or posh equipment). As ive got older, im 59, i have gradually felt older in body and in mind wondering where my good years went. Ive dragged myself round hating everything about my tired fat old body. In just over one week of running i feel like im on the verge of rediscovering myself. It sounds like a cliche but it really does feel like that. Im off work with stress and felt like i needed to make some serious changes. This running is part of that. I can easily talk myself out of it and wait for it to get dark so no one sees me. But yesterday i maintained 90 seconds nonstop and i cant tell you what an achievement that feels. It makes me emotional. I never understood how people were so passionate about running, but now i soooo do 😊
