While I am not advocating that you stop half way through the run, you can smile as you pass them and if you happen to meet up in the coffee shop later, you can debate the evidence.

Go you.. don't ever give up..not sure of your age..but you are there..running and showing everyone how it is done:)

One of my favourite quotes...and maybe a good reply...

"There will be a day when I can no longer run. Today is not that day."

People just say it They have no idea what they’re on about. My pal is a knee expert for his job. He is a runner, and his view is that NOT running is bad for the knees. That’s good enough for me 😃🏃‍♀️

My knees have got stronger since I began my running journey 💪

Haha. Sounds like my boss he tells my you cant run after 40 its bad for you. I just think to myself im 36yo and 13 weeks in. I can run 5k in sub 23mins.

Don't worry about what anyone says just listen to you body and dont overdo it.

Good luck
