Well they tell me I'm getting old now but I still feel like I'm 18 and taking the girlfriend to the drive-in

I thought id take up this running game because I've seen people doing it past me front door and none of them seem to have a beer gut πŸ˜€πŸ˜Ž

Not too many runners have a beer gut, some do drink beer but only in moderation.

I recently heard a story of a long distance runner who after a run went into a pub and ordered two pints of beer, while the barman was serving him his second beer the runner drank in one go the first pint, in around 10 seconds, now that is a exception to the rule, most runners after they have ran, take their time over a pint 🍻.

Great for getting started, just go slow and slower again and make sure you're drinking plenty water about 2-3 litres per day and not just on run days.

C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck 😊😊

They may not have beer guts but there are a few of us around who wobble a bit in places we’d rather not! Welcome to C25K- enjoy!
