I agree. I tried for months to run a mile. Never could do it. So I started walking a fast mile. Then about 2. Eventually built up the muscle and lost some weight, and I could run a mile.I’m just not hearing the “I’m too old” excuse anyone.
Get what you can get. If you can’t walk far then walk one lap around your neighborhood. Then walk a lap and a mailbox. Then eventually 2 laps…….1 mile…..2 miles…..the maybe you start jogging.
I started this with a goal of being able to run a mile. Then 2…4….and finally I set a goal of 4 miles at 10 minute pace.
Today was my best 4 miles at under 9:10 pace. I’ll be 53 in 8 weeks. 9 minutes is a real possibility.
So get your fat asses moving!!!

What I learned from @Behr after a similar experience at the grocery store: put your step counter in your shorts/pants pocket.I have a self propelled push mower. Since my hand/arm is on the handle, it doesn’t sway as I walk and most my steps don’t count unless I consider it a walk workout
