Late starter

[JacquieH3dogs]

64yrs old (almost 65) and have never run before. Got a new hip 11 weeks ago.

W1 R1 today. Sarah Millican wouldn't talk to me....problem with the app apparently.... so I timed myself!!

Tight thighs tonight but looking forward to Wednesday.

Well done!! I'm doing W1 R1 tonight I feel as though I got a running mate!

Welcome and well done! Small tip - try and do the warm up and cool down stretches (linked in How to post) which should help with tight muscles 😁

Thighs are so sore I can hardly walk so I am having to rest. Thanks for the tip re stretches.

Brilliant, well done 👏. Don't worry if you feel you need two rest days - I always did.
