About to do run 27

About to do final run tomorrow on C25K. Manage only 3.7k in 30 minutes. Am almost 70 years old and done no excercise for last 50 years to speak of. Will try to build on this slowly to increase speed and distance. Have a dream to run a marathon but it seems so far away. But if you had asked me if I would ever run for 30 minutes non stop 2 months ago I would have said no chance. Will keep pushing until my body says “enough “ . Main thing is I am enjoying it .

Well done! You’re doing fab. When you’re ready, you can hop over to the bridge to 10k forum 👍🏽 Then there’s the marathon forum to look forward to 🤣💪🏽 I went from zero to marathon in 18 months so it’s possible.

Enjoyment is the best possible thing to take from developing a running habit......that way you will continue to do it and reap all the benefits........speed is overrated.
