Run for Life, Not Just for Fitness
Simple cardio that boosts energy, strengthens your heart, and helps you live longer.
What happens when you run 5 miles consistently for months? I found out this week.
I pushed the distance to 6 miles and finished in 59 minutes without forcing the pace. See exactly how consistency translated into capacity:

I’ve been running for years. My regular distance was 3.5 miles – not easy, not hard, just comfortable.
About a year ago, I decided to add 1.5 miles. It took time before it felt like a routine, but the results honestly blew my mind. I still can’t believe the transformation that happened to both my body and my mindset.
Since September, I’ve been running 5 miles regularly. Last week I added another mile, and I couldn’t believe how easy it felt.
Oh, and I almost forgot – I’m almost 62.
All of us want to stay healthy, energetic, and independent as we age. With regular running and simple cardio habits, we can improve longevity and enjoy the things we love for many more years.
