Running – Cardio Workout

I’m over 60, not a professional athlete, not someone with endless free time, just a regular person with a regular job and a full life. And yet, I run, kayak, downhill ski, cycle, hike, and stay active year-round.

A regular 5-mile run has amazing effects on your heart at any age. Thanks to these effects, it strengthens the heart muscle, improves oxygen delivery, lowers resting heart rate, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems. Running also boosts endurance, energy, and mental clarity, helping you feel strong and capable in everyday life.

You don’t need to be young or have a coach to benefit. With simple, consistent movement, you can protect your heart, build stamina, and enjoy the freedom to do the things you love, playing with grandkids, exploring outdoors, or just waking up feeling energized.

Here at Running Cardio, I want to help you discover that freedom and prove to you that strength and stamina are not reserved just for the young, they’re available to anyone willing to move.
