Wk 2 R2 today but will have to do next run outside because the gym closes for Bank holiday. Not looking forward to leaving the treadmill for pavement running, not sure my 60+ year old legs are up to the pounding.

Well done. How about running on grass. My 20 year younger than your knees are not able to cope with pavement but grass is fine. I do all my running around the local football pitch.

Well done on a good start...I'm with you on the knees (64)...my first run starts downhill every time...like running on eggs until I get to the flat..lol. Just take it easy and you'll be ok. If you have a football pitch close that would be good, but I'm leery of running in grass...too much danger of turning an ankle for me. Let us know how you do....

Not what you're looking for?
