Hi All,
After 10 years of having trouble with my knees ( work related ) last year i changed my job in work and have now found myself practically pain free in the knee area,i am no longer wearing patella bands just to get around the golf course and recently decided to give the gym a go in order to lose some weight and regain some fitness.
The other night my son suggested going for a run which bearing in mind the last time i went running was probably around 15 years ago i was a bit apprehensive, anyway being the fool i am i went out and managed just over 3k with just one little breather, i realise that in the grand scheme of things that it is no great distance but i was fairly happy with myself.
Now here is my dilemma, my brother has signed up for the Great Manchester run 10k in May and is doing it for the Charity Multiple Sclerosis as my sister suffers from it, so will i be able to go out and train myself to do this distance by May ???.
Any thoughts or advice on how to achieve this goal are welcome, by the way i am 56 years old and not at the greatest level of fitness.
