Hello from Liverpool

Hi,

I’m new to this community and looking to improve my overall health, fitness and wellbeing.

At the age of 53 I’ve somewhat overlooked my own health whilst caring for my Father. He has passed away now and I feel it’s time to focus on myself.

It would be great to connect with like minded people going through the same challenges!

Welcome DQ1. Out of the sadness of your father's death is coming a powerful resolve - to look after yourself and to improve your own health. What an amazing woman you are.

I wish you every luck with the programme - I know it works because I have done it before at a greater age than you and am back to do it again at a much greater age than you. Both times with no sports or fitness background.

Keep telling us how you are getting on and reading the reports of others as we shadow your journey.

Sorry about your father passing DQ1, however, in his memory and I am quite sure he would be very happy that you started a running training course like C25K, if you do start it take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or weeks if you want to, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, good luck and if you wish report your progress on this forum, we are all here to help you.

Not what you're looking for?
