Yes I agree, injury yourself like I did and the health people gave me bit of advice...don,t you think it's time you stopped running. Well at 72 I will run again and as soon as possible.

I just watched it and laughed when the presenter said that a runner started late in life at 59... !!
A mere youngster!
That is exactly what I said ! x
Does anyone on here feel as old as we thought our parents were? I think not.
Well...as my Nan had a new step ladder for cleaning the top windows in our Victorian house, when she was 80...I think young at heart may be in my Gene's....I hope so..
I remember my grandpa at the age I am now always sitting in front of the telly, feet up and always smoking a pipe, then again that was in the mid 1950's,
By my age, my mum had had a heart attack and suffered from angina, the discomfort from which more or less confined her to the house. She never understood why I felt it necessary to push myself through everything I did. Sadly she isn’t here to see me now, but maybe she would understand.

I saw a bit of it on BBC news too. I need to read a bit more.... But it all sounds good to me. And what's not to like? 🤔 👍👍
