Week 1

[Shellygall]

I am not a natural runner. I'm 49 and very unfit. Still not managed to give up the fags either.

Tried Week 1 run 1 ages ago outside and was nowhere near. Have been building up slowly in the gym (in between colds/coughs/dodgy hips and popped ribs) and finally managed W1R1 a couple of weeks ago, well chuffed! Did W1R2 a couple of days later then had rib problems again so 10 days no gym or swimming but went yesterday and managed W1R3 so well chuffed.

That’s brilliant. Well done and keep with it.

Well done Shellygall. Snap - I'm also 49, very unfit, arthritic hips & haven't managed to give up the fags yet either! I've just finished wk5r3 so there is hope for us I'm hoping c25k will help motivate me into finally quitting as sure it would help immensely with breathing.

Good for you for getting out there! If you're a human being, you are a natural runner, you just have to find her!

Good luck 👍
