Well I’m about to start a ‘learn to ride’ course for adults who can’t ride a bike!! Let’s hope by the end of it I can ride and am not in hospital with any broken bones!! 🚲

Didn’t go as hoped. I’m still getting sharp pain in my knee when I try to peddle (thought it was balance). She said my balance is excellent and I should be riding within about half hour or so. Got to try and strengthen my knee for few weeks and possibly try knee brace. I’m going to keep trying though. I WILL NOT let it beat me 😂😂

Good. Have a look at knee exercises for runners on the nhs website. You’ll get there, I have no doubt about that!

Well done, Shelley.

C25K has kick started so many changes for you.

Swimming next, then you can do triathlons.

Wish you all the best for your cycling lessons Shelley, I have been a cyclist since I was 7 and runner since I was 72, I started C25K 5 weeks before I was 72.
