Sounds like you’re fitter than the average 78 year old! Happy birthday for Thursday, and enjoy your journey here. Stamina will certainly grow, so you’ll be ready for some hard table tennis.

Happy birthday bercham259 for your birthday on Thursday 2nd May, if you wish to start C25K you are very much welcomed. 😊 Just take all the runs slowly and keep ridgidly to the program, slow and steady is the mantra slogan here,

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and mentions the 83 year old who graduated from C25K a couple of years ago.

Enjoy your journey, wherever it takes you.
