Running After 60 Real Cardio Data Intensity Minutes
running regularly and increasing distance at age 62
I’ve been running for years. My regular distance was 3.5 miles – not easy, not hard, just comfortable.
About a year and half 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.
Long story short. Then I added another mile to my regular runs and another one. As of now I can run 7 miles per exercise.
