Thanks you will be get there at your own pace

[Beachcomber66 Graduate]

Well done Skeg! I decided to go for steadily increasing distance after c25k and left pace alone for ages. Long slow runs work best with my 67 year old frame! Fantastic effort 😊

[Skeg Graduate]

Thanks. I'm thinking the same distance and strength are more important to me and I guess my ageing bones than pace. Enjoy those walks.

[Debston Graduate]

Woohoo and congratulations, Skeg! That's a great pace at any age. 🎊 🥂 🥉 🎓 🏃 🏆 🎉 🎈

Well done for meeting your "deadline". That is great !

[Skeg Graduate]

Thank you. Good luck on wherever your next steps direction takes you. Hopefully it will be just as enjoyable and productive.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Congratulations... forgetting age and background you should still be very proud of those results by the way! Celebrate well, then enjoy consolidation and all your future running adventures

[Skeg Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you. The older one gets the more you learn you have to pick yourself up and get on with it. Your profile shows you have done that so you should also be proud. Keep going.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Skeg]

I’m never quitting running... and I never want to have to start again! I plan to run in my 70’s but starting in your 70s is truly awesome.

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Keep running, keep smiling.

[Skeg Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you. I've browsed through the link before but will reread again. Pre this course I had sat on the couch and given up on setting targets, now 2 spring to mind. A Walsall Park run and just around the corner a hill the local runners club use - its tough but a challenge I'm aiming for.

[Getfitok Graduate]

Brilliant! Well done you 😀

[Skeg Graduate in reply to Getfitok]

Thanks. Hope the bunions got sorted.

[Getfitok Graduate in reply to Skeg]

thanks, I've just invested in some new Brooks, a pair of special bunion socks (which cost me a fortune) and I'm lacing them the 'bunion way'. So I'm hoping to run like a gazelle now with pain free feet

[ButtercupKid Graduate]
