we’ll never in a million years did I think I would run 5k I’ve now done two 5k runs it takes me 36mins but at the age of 44, not been a runner before and basically hated running before I’m pretty chuffed with myself. It was hard consistency was not my friend I would start the programme then have 3/4 weeks off, but finally I found my mojo to stick to it. I started it as part of a gym program to I’m in early menopause and always been a chunky ish lady but menopause hit hard and feeling tired etc all the time took it’s toll. However I finally managed to stick to 3 runs a week and I’ve completed the course, and can say I do still re run the run currently but I love it. I don’t Road run I find it too harsh on my knees, so it’s the Southdowns and the river adur routes for me.

Congratulations! I’m a little further into this than you, and I don’t often talk about my times on here… but you had me daydreaming there as 36 minutes for 5k is my happiest pace… sometimes I think I could run all day at it.
