Hi. I'm 46 and am determined that it's not too late!

Great post! I'm running my first 5K next week and I'm at week 7 of the c25k and hating it this week. Last week was great, this week not so much... no idea why. I'm going to follow some of your tips in my next run and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice!

Just make sure you up the amount of good, nutritious food you eat so that your net for the day is 1200 (or whatever your number is). But I would say that if you are…
