I've just done my first run after years of no action. Hard but I did it... Let's hope many more miles on the clock! 😏

Oh and if I tell you Lewis Collins used to go out to same places as me and he bought me and my friend a drink would you be a bit jealous? πŸ₯‚πŸΎ

I loved it too and was well star struck first time I saw him.. but he was so down to earth .. way before people had mobile phones too so no selfies πŸ™ˆ He was often out round by us..

Re the running.. just wait til the running bug bites you! I’ve somehow inherited a gremlin called competitive Annie πŸ™ˆπŸ‘Ί

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

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

Enjoy your journey.
