I went into the cupboard full of like all the old shoes.

And I found a pair of old school done locks.

And I have no fitness gear that fitted my Vystone overweight body.

And I went to the most sheltered place where no one would see me.

So I just said to myself, okay, what I'm going to do is I'm going to jog for a minute and I'm

going to walk for a minute. That pride in myself as a woman that I didn't have and every

single run that I did, I felt a little bit more pride that I'd done this hard thing.

Now is 2026 the year that you want to start running?

Ultra marathon runner Sabrina Pace Humphreys can coach you from the couch to 5K and maybe beyond.

Welcome to Age Better with me, Liz Earle. My mission is, is to change the conversation around ageing, because what I've learnt is that our decline isn't inevitable. And what I'd love to show

you is that small but powerful shifts in what you eat, how you move, the way you sleep and live,

can genuinely transform how you age. Now is the time for us to feel bolder, older,

more confident in our skin than ever before. Now, you know, we do talk a lot here about the

importance of strength training in later life and it's absolutely vital to build muscle

and maintain muscle as we age. But we do also need to be conscious of our

cardiovascular health. So how much strenuous walking do you do? Do you ever do a bit of jogging?

How else might you be getting your heart rate up, testing your stamina and mindset too?

Well, Sabrina Pace Humphreys is an award-winning runner. She's a coach, social justice advocate,

and a grandmother of three. She is a brilliant inspiration for healthy aging. Now listen to this.

She has completed, quote, the toughest foot race on earth. No less than a 250 kilometre ultramarathon, wait for it, across the Sahara Desert.

Blow me. Now, I'm not saying that we all have to aim for quite those distances, thankfully,

I certainly won't be, but Sabrina has learnt a lot about getting midlife women moving.
