A good morning to you all. I’m a 66 year old. I will be going down to the gym later this morning to do my second run. The first one was a little difficult, but I feel I coped with it. I know it will be a challenge however, I do feel motivated and really look forwards to reaching 30 minutes and running 5k. Who knows what’s next, would love to do 10k one day !
Good luck to you all !
you can do this. I’m 64 and have just completed my first run of week 9. When I began I could not run for 30 seconds. I also wish to be able to run a 10k eventually and complete a park run. Us oldies can do this. Plus side we probably have a bit more time available as kids are grown up! Good luck x
Thanks Flybe for your encouraging words. I’m really glad to have found this forum and feel I will get motivation from the many posts on here. I used to be a member of a gym while I was a postie, but after walking 12 miles a day on my round, I always felt too tired to go to the gym. I had to take medical retirement at 63 because of my knees, but now I have lots of time on my hands, I have more energy and have decided to take the plunge and now trying to get fit once more. Hoping for luck today, as I’ve had this terrible cough and trying to shake it off ! Well done on your progress, you’ve almost cracked it ! 😊👍
