I started running when I am over 40s. Initially I cant even complete a 3km run, but with consistency I managed to do it. I enrolled in my first race the same year - a full marathon. Love it and never look back. It's really so enjoyable to run. The feeling of freedom and peace of mind are things which money can't buy.
I wish I had this info when I first started running! Excellent advice & will definitely be using some of it in the future. Thankful I found your channel! Hope to see you Friday!
The races are surprisingly expensive. A late March half marathon near me is $60 which is my limit. Jersey City and Atlantic were maybe 90 or $110 plus $7 sign up. I've been known to note a race course and run it on my own when the time and weather is right, for free. I can see where I would have placed which is likely the bottom 40% of my age group. For some doing a race route on a non race day can be fun and low stress.
Yes. Races are very expensive. There are some local ones here in Bucks you can sign up for under $60. But I think my neck of the woods is a little far from you?
@@IRunThings I missed the Pennsylvania experience as my son moved to Media, PA 2 weeks before the COVID shutdown. He was there for a year but took a promotion in Alabama. It was my door to the philly half but didn't happen.

Where in Alabama? I did one year of college at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa as part of an exchange program with my uni in Spain
@@IRunThings Huntsville. We drove down there for Thanksgiving.
@@stevemurray710 very cool! I heard Huntsville has a lot of industry now.
Dear Suzie. You are not a 48 years OLD runner. You are a 48 years YOUNG runner .
Haha. Thank you!!!
