Running injuries aren’t really about age, they’re mostly about training errors. Physiotherapists have found that up to 80% of running injuries come from doing too much, too soon, often by blindly following a fitness watch instead of listening to your body. Older runners, having learned to build in rest, often outperform newcomers who skip recovery.
And running doesn’t wear out your knees either: recreational runners have a lower rate of knee osteoarthritis than people who don’t run at all. The real risk factor isn’t your age, it’s how gradually you progress.
