Hey and I am 51yrs old!
You have to build up slowly though. There ain't any way to rush your body with regard to running high mileage and there are a lot of downs along the way but in my mind the good times out balance the bad times by miles. Nothing better than being super fit and running in countryside when the sun is shining strongly and yourself without a top on. You feel more animal than human! I just hope I can accumulate more memories of such times.
Don't be afraid to rest though! If you are knackered and aching then rest. You feel like that for a reason and it is because your body needs to repair itself.
Be interesting to see how long you last on this fitness regime.
Blimey thats a serious amount of running, have you always run alot?
Well i wasn't sure if i was going to cope with week 2 on Tuesday morning (in the pissing rain) but i did and it felt fantastic to see the improvment in me. Back out tomorrow morning and i can't wait.
