I have ran regularly 3 times a week and today I finally achieved my goal by running 5K in 28:55 πŸŽ‰ πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ…

I don't know how I got to your post, but I read it because I too am 59 and trying to do this. I am on week 4, did run 1 today.... Not great, but I did it. Hope I feel better on R2 and that I'll get to the end of the programme. I'll give it a good try anyway!

That’s a wonderful achievement. πŸ˜„

I’m 61 - & you have made me take my assumption of remaining β€œforever super slow” & throw it out of the window! πŸ˜‚
