Adventure Fitness for the Over 50s.
Move more. See more. Experience more after 50.
Follow my real-time journey as an ordinary person getting fitter after 50 through running, Couch to 5K, parkrun, hiking, cycling, and low-cost adventures. I’m a slow runner trying to improve my 5K time, chasing a sub-30 minute parkrun while building a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Along the way I share realistic training, beginner running progress, and everyday adventures that show how normal people can improve their fitness, confidence, and quality of life after midlife.
No elite athlete here. Just a regular person proving that you can still make big progress, get stronger, and experience more life after 50.
If you’re interested in beginner running, parkrun, fitness after 50, Couch to 5K journeys, or simple adventures that help you live a bigger life, follow along.
No magic fixes.
No fitness influencer fads.
No fake perfection.
Just the honest journey of a slow runner looking for his best life.

As the weather improves my activities will include cycling and walking and travel again. Question is would my subscribers like that on this channel or keep this one just for running vlogs? Most of the subscribers have joined while I was doing the running. Let me know in the comments. Thanks

looking for my best life
What started out as a plan for a steady recovery run after a tight calf last week turned into my first ever sub 35min 5k. Smashing 42 seconds off my previous best. Wasn't the plan, but it just felt good so I kept going. Let's see if I can match it or beat it when I film Parkrun no.4 at the weekend!!!

Injuries happen — but giving up isn’t an option!
Tomorrow’s vlog is about my return to running and rebooting the Couch to 5K from scratch.
How do you stay motivated when you have to start over? 👇
