I've been running since late 1998, although I did have a fairly long break when my children were small due to lack of time (and having put on a shed load of weight during pregnancy). Now back at it, and as I turn 50 this year, I have run 3 marathons to celebrate! I have one speed (slow) although next year's target is to improve my 5k and 10k times (and possibly my half marathon time too).
Welcome Nessie and congrats on the marathons - a cracking achievement! And thanks for your posts, very informative and just what we need.
Hello It's really inspiring reading about your achievements as I'm an overweight guy in my mid 40's wanting to get fitter, and thought I was too old for running. Obviously not. Well done Nessie.
Definitely not too old FS, although taking i slowly to avoid injury is the way to go. Things heal a lot slower when you are not in your 20s anymore!
