Started!

Done it, got off my backside and done the first run. I’m 52 on Saturday and have just had a poorly few weeks, so felt I needed a challenge.

I started exactly same time of life as you was 52 in Feb and now I’m doing park run and running is something I do can hardly believe it as I write it

Currently can’t imagine getting beyond week one, but going for it.

Excellent. 👏🏼 That first run is the hardest part of the programme, you’ll be glad to know. It’s not the running, it’s getting out the door that first time! 😄

Welcome, and happy running. A thing to know: we are not Mo Farah on here; slow is fine, so go at your own pace. And enjoy your running.

Well done you. You've done the hard bit. The support on here is amazing. It's kept me going. You'll get there. I added in a couple of weeks near the beginning as running really didn't come easily to me and didn't feel guilty. Just started week 8 now, so it does work. Just keep trying.
