ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).
Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.
Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

While I admire James, and the many runners here who achieve remarkable results and are rightfully proud to talk about it, I think anybody running, biking or whatever they do at a later age and at whatever pace they do it, can give themselves a pat on the back. Health is not about how fast you do it. Some are blessed, some can train like machines. But doing it, is a win.

I just started running this year at age 61. In my younger days (35 years ago) I was heavy into competitive cycling. Well, after demands from family and career mounted up I drifted away from most sports/physical activity. I'm now proud to say that I have begun a consistent health and exercise training program now which includes much running. I am training for and planning to run some local 5K and 10K runs in the spring of 2023. it's never too late to start!!

59 in October, Average 60km/week 5 runs and just got my PB sub 3h14m marathon. Very happy with that thank you. Yes, strength once or twice a week at home.

Pain.

I’m 65 and run 22 minute 5km park runs. At the other end of the scale I run ultras - recently did 100 miles in just over 24 hours. It’s all about mindset and commitment, not age.
-
I am also in the 50 and older club - I'm going to be 59 in a few months. I'd had to add more yoga and stretching over the years than I did when I was in my 20's, but it is quite satisfying to still be so flexible and strong at my age while others are lining up for joint replacements or taking more medication. I sleep more now, too - I am very rarely up after 9, which seemed like it was still too early to be in bed when I was younger. It has all definitely been paying off.
-
I am 65 next month and have been running 7 days/week for most of this year - averaging about 110km per week. I do a tempo workout on Tuesday, a track workout on Thursday, and a long run on Saturday. What has helped me is REALLY SLOWING down my recovery runs Mon/Wed/Fri AND I get a huge amount of sleep! I also do strength training at least 4 times/week (twice with weights) . Just finished a marathon where I ran 3:14 so seems to be working.

Loving all the comments, great work people ! I’m 56, started running two years ago, done loads of half’s now training for my first full marathon next month. Would not have dreamt it was possible before I got sober. It’s such a joy, feel very lucky, running has given me so much it’s unreal Keep on keeping on good people !

I'm now 66. Retired and running again after several years without doing so due to working constraints. I'm having some gymn training and running four times per week, for about 50 km/week, three sessions of easy run and one of intervals and I'm feeling (and getting) better every single day.

Your body starts deteriorating at age 30, losing flexibility, muscle mass and recovery time increases. Nobody can stop that. You can stay in shape, but not reverse aging.

My fastest 5k a year ago was 38 minutes, since losing a stone and a half and doing intermittent fasting I’m now down to 24:30, oh and I’m 65…
-
I am a 77 year old and run 2.25km every Morning at about 05.00 and want to improve my running.

According to some health professionals the chair is the new smoking. Get up off it and move at least every twenty minutes. I just high step on the spot. Just 10 or 15 it makes a difference!
-
I've been running since my mid 20s and I'm now 68. I ran all my PBs at 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon at the age of 41 😊

Tommy Hughes is a local legend and amazing to watch. He has what looks like a slow painful gait, but somehow is still incredibly fast doing it.
-
How do you know what it think, twxt?
-
Also diet/nutrition. :)

Ive found sprinting like youre being chased by a dog very useful.

Thanks James. Exactly what I do at 59. I average 300km a week on the bike and run every third day which seems to be the sweet spot for not getting injured. So far this year I have managed a sub 20, 5k and a sub 40, 10k. I have ridden at least 100km per week for the past seven years and find this gives me a great aerobic base without getting injured. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night and no hormone therapies. Thanks for thinking of us oldies. 😊🚴♂️🏃♂️🇦🇺👍
