No more running after 50
We’ve heard how running is bad for the knees and joints. However, there is little scientific evidence to prove that running can cause arthritis or other joint problems in the long-term.
In fact, many who incorporated running into part of their exercise regimen still continues to run even as they age. It can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and it’s also great as a form of destressing. But if you just started running, don’t be overambitious and attempt to run far. Start small and slowly increase the distance of running overtime.
