And so you should, that's brilliant.

Well done for getting out there and trying. We have a couple older than you so there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get to the end.

I’m ‘holding back the years’ one of my songs whilst I run. 🥴

Well done Dylia! Like you I had no great expectations having never been interested in running but I got to week 7 by just plodding along from run to run. I then had a month on the injury couch which I found curiously irritating and went back to week 3. I’m about to finish week 4 again and am looking forward to the longer runs- but again it will be in Japanese Slow Running mode and looking no further ahead than the next run! Who’d have thought I’d be doing this at 66! Happy running!

Wow well done you! Curiously I am sort of - sort of - enthusiastic about my next run too! I never in a million years thought I’d get to week 3 and I finished Run1 of Week3!!!!! There’s a challenge left in us oldies yet. Well don’t to you for getting back in the saddle. I said to my husband that I really don’t want to get an injury an have to stop as I would feel really deflated. Strange isn’t it. Have you lost weight also? I’m hoping my thunder thighs may morph into Twiggy’s!

Not what you're looking for?
