I'm impressed :drinker: I don't want to race but I would like to be able to go for more than 10 minutes in a row jogging :laugh:Stop press: completed my first 5K this morning, at the end of week 6.0 -
I'm 52, and have just started C25k, having finished week 1 day 2. Not sure if I'll ever make the full 5km, but it's worth the try. I am having issues with our hilly terrain, so may end up running on an indoor track as the intensity and cold weather increase. Currently walking/running our back roads in bright red attire, hoping to avoid the deer hunters... :^)0

I began C25K just after my 58th birthday in May, graduated 9 weeks and 2 pants sizes later, and logged over 90 miles in October.0

I'm 51 and just ran 20 minutes straight this morning (W5D3).... that's the longest I've run since I was about 17!!
Only 5 weeks ago I was struggling to run 90 seconds.0 -
Hello Everyone!
I'm 51 and needing to lose weight for health and also so I can run faster! ;-) I have been dabbling with running since June and actually ran/walked a 5k in September. My DH and I started C25k and are currently on Week 2. The longest I ran without stopping this summer was 1.5 miles. Took me about 20 minutes I think. Anyway, my goal is to be able to run a whole 5k, and of course, to lose this weight!
