I will have to show that to my 98 year old mother............she is such a slacker!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Or this lady! Look at her go! 🤣 runnersworld.com/uk/health/...

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Ah, but that is sprinting, Jo. I will see what my old ma can manage next time I see her.

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I just love the pic of her with her hand weights! Strength training (even gentle) is so important through the decades 💪🏻

[Larry46 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

And that was from 2014. Looked her up and she only died this year (aged 106) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida... - was still running after her hundredth birthday- incredible!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To paraphrase him, "I only do 5 mile runs now because I became too busy to do 10 miles nowadays."

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to nowster]

Yes, I loved that! 🤣

[Cmoi Graduate]

Wonder how old Garmin thinks he is?

Also, thank you for saying "most of us can" not "anyone can." Your version is so much kinder GoGo_JoJo .

[Granspeed Graduate]

Lovely! Guess we can’t do the old “Am I too old to run?” thing any more. 😄 Makes me feel like a right youngster. 🎉

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

That's it! Age shouldn't be an excuse! 🤣

[C200 Graduate]

Absolutely!!! 👏👏

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate]

Gosh 😮 they are both amazing! I just feel like I’m 99 1/2 😂

[Raisemeup Graduate]

Oh that makes me feel like a Spring chicken and is simply great for inspiration. I do note that he has had a lifetime of running/athletics and the ability obviously stays with you if you don't stop - unfortunately most of us do for various 'life' reasons and have to keep trying to pick up the threads.Just goes to show what the body can do if we stay with it, it doesn't count the decades just the muscle memory - thank you for sharing Jo.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Raisemeup]

If I've done my sums correctly, he didn't start running until he was in his fifties.

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to nowster]

And the lady started at 67! 💪🏻👍🏻

[Raisemeup Graduate]

Yes Nowster, I thought the same but on the video he says he started running in 1958, but has been running in Sharon Woods for the past 46 years. It seems he was running from around age 24.No mean feat either way and quite remarkable.
