Second Time for this novice Old Timer

5 Replies

After a gap of 7 months I made myself start C25K again. This time I'm using a gym treadmill to be kinder to my knees. Run 1 completed. My leg muscles are not happy to be woken up again!

Really good luck to you  Hidden ! It’s lovely to have you back here again. I’m not very experienced on a treadmill myself but it’s brilliant that you’ve found something that works for you. Be kind to your legs and keep on stretching and recovering well-think about taking extra days if you need them.

It’s probably worth having a skim through the programme guide. It’s here if you want it…

Take it steady and use all that experience you’ve got from before and you’ll soon be where you want to be. We’re here to cheer you on! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Go for it youngster, ice and roll the muscles with a decorating roller after the run. I know the problems being nearly 76. Rock on.
