‘Awash with good cholesterol’

This is my fourth year and I’m amazed – the hills have got flatter, the miles shorter, I’m awash with good cholesterol and apparently my triglycerides have halved. Do it. Just keep going, tweak things if the targets set begin to cause anxiety, be kind to yourself and celebrate your successes, both the big and the small. And if you ever need some encouragement, just post on our wonderfully supportive Facebook page.’ Olwen Davies,62, Luton
