Hello folks. First post here - after joining quite a while ago!
Started the plan a couple of times, but didn’t manage to stick at it.
Now, at the age of 65, I’ve decided to give it another go.
I am more focused and determined this time, and hope to gain more fitness and lose a little weight along the way
I completed Week 4 Run 3 this afternoon and feel quite chuffed with myself. I feel okay, a little tired and sore legs after each run, but post run stretching and cool down are a huge help
Hopefully 🤞🤞🤞by Christmas I might be managing the 5k target, but at the moment I’m just enjoying the process
Looking forward to week 5, although it looks daunting tbh😂😂. I’ll check back in with progress (hopefully) next week!!

Loads of useful stuff there and then...maybe pop across to the S and F forum for some great stretching exercises and other useful strength and stamina work...
I began at 65 and still here, still running, at 74! Slow and steady and enjoy!
Just a thought - you mention the 5k target. The C25K name is misleading. The target is actually 30 minutes running. Many of us - me definitely - complete the programme but get nowhere near 5k. I only just get to 3k and at 67yrs old I’m okay with that. But you may be much fitter and faster than me!
I’m slightly behind you completing week 3 , but your determination is an inspiration to me to keep to it. It’s hard I know but if it was easy everyone would be doing it rather than sat in front of the tv or o. Social media for some!. Well done and best wishes
I’m 60 and a little well a fair bit over weight and out of shape but onwards and upwards
