Hello everyone!

General Chat Your Introductions!

Hello,
I’m from Nottingham, UK and I’ve just signed up to this site. I’m particularly interested in the health and fitness forum. I started running aged 47 and have now been running for just over 4 years. Still rather amazed that I’ve become a runner as I never aspired to be. I started running for a charity event. My running club has lots of members older than me, including some very good runners in their seventies (even 2 ladies which is quite unusual).

I’m interested in finding out more about older women runners and their experiences and I have a blog about this (www.runyoung50.co.uk)

I look forward to chatting to other members,
Katie

Hello Katie :slight_smile: a very warm welcome to Over50sForum…

I admire anyone who goes running in their senior years but unfortunately I’m not one of them due to back problems. :slight_smile:

Hello Katie,

Welcome to our forum.

I don’t know about running at my age, my legs don’t seem to be able to do that now, I can’t even get up my hill where I live.

Hi Susie,
Thank you for saying hi. Walking can be just as good for fitness as running and it’s always good to get some fresh air.

Hi Katie,

Yes I do go out for a walk every day for 1 hr. if I can manage it, I need a neighbour who can lend me their dog, then the dog can pull me up the hill.

That sounds like excellent exercise!
