I am so happy. Not only did I do it but I felt I could keep going. My heart rate is not going so high once running and I felt I got into a slow but steady pace which was sustainable. I last got this far in 2023. C25K works even for oldies ,78 this year.

Congratulations to you oldperson47 on completing run 3 of 6 of C25K, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, as you say never to late to start C25K or any other exercises, you deserve to be very proud of yourself, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3 /25 minute runs, not long now until you graduate, good luck.

How absolutely fantastic is that - you did it, you felt you could and you're enjoying it...

We old dogs can absolutely take to new tricks ...:)

Not far from putting those twinkle toes on the podium
