This is Brian, from the Irish midlands. I started running at age 65, in a 0-3km group and have not stopped.
I ran my first two half-marathons in 2022 and recently registered for my first full-marathon in September. At present, I've already been training and am working on building my aerobic base.
My goals was targeting 5k each month using nasal breathing. At present, I'm closing in on 10k with nasal breathing (wearing mouth tape and a nasal dilator for assistance) and coming on just fine.
I also run once or twice a week, short distances, in a weight vest. Currently, I'm at just over 5k in a 10kg vest. Tiring, but certainly helps with strength!
Best of luck to all runners in their 2023 goals!
