2nd attempt in 3 years

1 Reply

Did w1r2 today and feel fab. My 17yr old son is my running partner and motivator. I am painfully slow, but his trainered feet keep me going. Weightloss and fitness are my goals.

We're adding a playlist to help keep some kind of pace.

I WILL get this nailed by the time I hit 50 years old in November.

I do have trouble with my knees so any tips on keeping them safe would be welcomed. 👍

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
