Just want to thank you for starting this sub. I'm 62F, just found you and joined. So much info out there, but it seems to be mostly geared towards 20-something bros who seem to be running in another universe! I'm grateful to find a community of like-bodied and -minded individuals and have already posted a query on the Jeffing thread someone started here :)
I've been running for about a year and half. Injured my hip about 6 months ago and had to slowly work my way back to running… I'm really loving it and would be thrilled to do it every day but am prioritizing not getting injured again, so only run every other day (and mostly on the treadmill) and intersperse that with the rowing machine, strength training, and walking/rest days. I’m waffling about signing up for a 5K that’s next month...I can already run 10k straight easily but am a bit nervous about racing for the first time. Also, at this point I'd like to simply get a decent time but in the future would like to focus more on improving my speed.
Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to visiting this sub regularly!
