Started running again a couple of weeks ago after not doing so for at least a decade, I’m vastly over weight now and need to get rid of the belly. Decided to take my 8 year old daughter to a 5k park run as she wanted to go with me.
I clocked a rather unspectacular 37 minute time with my daughter running off into the distance on the last straight to beat me by 9 seconds.
we did the same course again a week later and I managed to clock 35 minutes , again with daughter running off from me at around the halfway point to beat me by 3 minutes.
i used to be able to run a 5k in under 25 minutes fairly easily it’s dangerously worrying how quickly your own health/fitness can deteriorate when you don’t do a bit of exercise every now and then
just need to regain some fitness so I can out run an 8 year old now
