I think any age is a good age to start running, but obviously the earlier the better. There are so many benefits to running, there is no reason not to. Unless of course you get to that point where it actually hurts to run (or just walk in general) then I must say that you have to call it a day.

“The gap between the runners and non runners continued to widen as they entered their nineties.” “Runners’ initial disability occurred 16 years later than non runners.” “long-distance running among healthy older individuals was not associated with increased knee osteoarthritis. Runners also do not require more total knee replacements than non runners”
WOW I’ve seen this study before, but I think it should be reread at least weekly!! Thanks for posting it.
