Yes I really do…. Having completed C25K- I took a little longer & struggled- so folks keep going… I now love running & have joined the local running club… I’ve entered a half marathon…& last night ran 6.5 mikes and found it easy!! & the lead runner told me how much he’d seen my stamina improve …& he called me a runner… not bad for a once overweight (I have lost 4 st 9lbs), 56 year old woman…. I am the slimmest..& fittest I’ve been in years…. (I also swim 2500 m 2 or 3 times a week!!!)

So for those of you on here that struggle-keep going as I used to hate running!!!!

Great to hear ! Keep it up 😁👍

There is so much to love! Well done, the exhilaration in your voice comes through in your post. Sounds like running has changed your life in so many ways. As a woman of a certain age, I particularly like being able to eat what I want without putting on weight!
