I am 63 and have just graduated after 9 weeks. Am I one of the oldest to do this?

For me it was a mental challenge. I am relatively fit. I swim 60 lengths 3 times a week and have done for over 10 years. I also walk my dogs 2 miles a day every day. But I hated running and I needed a challenge. It took me until week 6 to get the breathing right. But since then I have really enjoyed being out across the fields behind the house. I would recommend the course to anyone who wants a challenge.

Congratulations. You are older than me but hope I can manage that much exercise in ten years time. You are an inspiration.

Thanks very much. I will enjoy running to my choice of music from now on.

I graduated 3 weeks ago on my 62nd birthday, so there are a few of us not-so-oldies about!! Well done you. Keep at it.

Thank you for the inspiration! I turned 63 just before Christmas and I'm now on week two run two having not run since my schooldays. I'm contemplating signing up for a half-marathon in September - madness!
