O.A.R old aged runner

[Jimmib22]

I have been doing 4 runs per week and just completed wk9 run1 and to say I struggled is an understatement..but I did it and I'm delighted.. I am 56 and not ran since my schooldays, if I can do this anyone can.. one happy oldie here 😊

Well done! I found that toward the end of the programme, I sometimes benefitted from an extra day between runs. I was also 56, when I completed. Now 4 years on I have to say that this programme has changed my life and as my 60th is on the horizon, I am the fittest I have ever been. So KBO and have fun😁

Well done.

If you struggle with any run you are probably going too fast.

Running slower, at an easy conversational pace, develops your aerobic base more effectively than pushing harder.

Well done.Thats not old; I'm a few months off being ten years older than you. Like you I hadn't run in decades but I run W9R1 tomorrow!!
