I can't understand how walking football works. Surely you'd just burst into a trot without being able to stop yourself at times? Especially if you are fairly able to still.

I am confused.how do I smash someone in half at walking pace? I am 64
Seriously, if I run too fast do I get told to slow down?

Yeh you'd get reminded to stop running!

This mornings session was good fun, Ken who delivers the session is excellent and he's a young 65+. Next session is in the new year.

I got a text from somebody or association asking if i wanted to take up sessions. I could do the walking, but, as i've always been, i'd be crap at the football.

Not for me though.

Haven't tried this but will sooner or later, started pickleball (which is great fun btw) and immediately an old achilles injury flares up, I think I might be getting old!

Wasn't having a go at it DA. Just having a bit of fun.
I'm happy for any olde codgers and cdger-eses to try to keep some level of fitness.
Cycling and a few weights to the job for me.
 
I play footy at Wingate school on a Wednesday and there’s always a group of old boys on the pitch next to us playing this, it gets quite feisty surprisingly. Definitely something I’d do when I’m old enough. My knees are already gone, so already half way there to playing :lol:
