Elderly people run as far as the young - By: Steve Clis

The wonders of the runners' world rest with the runners like Lewis, Kelly Bright and Perry, who were not taken as the meddlesome or curious-minded ones. They competed with the young in twenties and thus won the same respect for their achievements. They have their own publications (including a perfect publication called Veteran which are published in Britain), and their own organization (Veteran Physical Culture Association), and they even hold an annual Senior Citizens' International Olympics on their own. No wonder many of them are not only afraid of keeping a birthday, but even looking forward the advent of their birthday and considering that they will be harder to be defeated after they are promoted to the next level of age.
The exercises between the aged who are serious toward running and the young who handle the same approach to running are generally without distinction. Many elderly people run the same distance as the young do, or even more. Ted Corbett said: ¡åyou should not run less just for your gradually increasing age}.If you want to make an increase from five mile to marathon, you have to exercise to run farther. John Kelly runs for one hour every day most of which is under strenuous exercise. Jim McDonagh was a first-class runner when he was over fifty. He made a sixty-five-mile running exercise for a famous face of fifty-two miles from London to Brighton. Corbett himself runs a whole day from early morning every day. Several years ago, when the press of Runners' World was to publish a pamphlet called Running after Forty Years Old, the compilers discovered that there was not much to be said about the problems of running exercise for the senior citizens. Because they were, as a matter of fact, mostly mentioned in the introduction on how the young exercise, they had to fill the brochure with a large number of biographical materials of the first-rate runners in their forties, fifties, sixties and seventies.
If we pass our fiftieth birthday, there will be an obvious mark in the calendar of our lives-the oldness. People who want to prolong their lives by running need to make some adjustments with effort. We have to inject creativity to running continuously. And this creativity is the source of sports, it does not only energize your body cells, but also maintain the exuberant function of every part of the body and unifies you completely both physically and mentally. Mental Health contains physical health. When people are showed signs of age year by year, it's essential to make a adjustment of sport course. The glamour of exercise is such plain and practical.
