W6r3 wow!

Was 'nt sure about doing this run. I normally leave 2 days between not one (my age! ) Anyway despite wind I did it and finished with a little extra at the end. I think my legs lose the rhythm sometimes and I realise I'm not moving much but I could pick it up and get back into the rhythm again. So stretches now and a cuppa before shower. Yeah!

Congratulations to you Basil73 on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3/ 25 minute runs, not long now until you graduate, keep in touch with this forum to tell us on your progress for your remaining 9 runs of weeks 7,8, and 9 ✔️👍

Huge well done you... make sure now that the runs are longer that you put a bit more rest day exercise too...it really will pay dividends... it helps keep our running bodies moving, whatever our age... I am 73 :)

So good to meet you I’m over 70 and am feeling my way a bit carefully.

Tripped quite badly last Sunday and trying to give myself space to recover (not usually sensible) but so much want to achieve this.

I wonder if I should follow your example and for the future leave 2 days between runs(sorry so funny to think of myself described as running - lolopping is probably a better description.

Thanks for listening.

I’m 74 and nearly graduating. I often leave two or even three days between runs, and/or repeat runs. It means completeing the course takes longer but I’m getting there and doesn’t seem to set me back!

Just do what you think is right for you. Slow but sure!
