Still on the treadmill.

[Bazza1234]

I am still slowly going though C25k on my treadmill - up to Week 6 now. I do each day's task twice over, amounting to around 1 hour each time including 2 lots of warming up and cooling down . It's too damned hot and humid here right now to go outside every day. I do parkrun every Saturday and usually run with my local running club for a sociable hour on Sundays ( and then breakfast) . Also just signed up for a 12k trail run next week. I always like to go back to C25k - it keeps me grounded - 75yo now and starting to feel it

Great stuff, Bazza.

I would just like to clarify for any new runners considering emulating you, that you are already an experienced runner and not starting from zero, as most doing C25K are.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Yes - I should have made that clearer.

I hope I am still running in my 70s! Amazing

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to cheryl_couch_tatty]

You can! Just don't stop after you finish C25K There are many other running challenges out there.

I am almost at my 1 year runiversary, trying to improve week on week, this is the longest I have ever stuck to anything, c25k has really changed me!

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to cheryl_couch_tatty]

Yes - first time I have ever stuck to anything physical too have been at it now for 8 years I think it was the progressive nature of C25k and thne other later training programmes. Now I have a daily habit of running and/or walking 6 days of the week- Friday is my day of rest before a Saturday parkrun where I have a bit of a blowout

Good stuff Bazza. But where are you that is hot and humid?

That makes sense now. Enjoy Brizze and think of us in midwinter.

When I lived in Australia, walking routes had to be carefully chosen to avoid all the critters that might bite, sting or otherwise attack. How do you do it (other than on a treadmill)?
