Will moderate running hurt or help with aging and longevity?

[Anonymous]

When I was in my ,20s, i ran maybe twice a week indoor and on the treadmill. No more than 3 miles each time. My shins would hurt during and afterwards. I'm 50 now and I run/ jog slowly. Neither my speed, duration nor distance or intensity changed much. But my shins don't hurt. And I feel my plantar fasciitis is less of a problem.

Sometimes, I also walk on the treadmill in an incline.

They sell something for that called sunscreen. Also, how bad do you suck at math? We are talking less than 4 hours a week of additional outside time. Most people need to be outside MORE.

I don't like the idea of chronically using sun screen. It seeps into your bloodstream.

I'm 51 and have been a regular runner for my entire life and my joints are fine. But I don't run every day - I run 3-4 days/week and do weight training and other lower impact cardio on the other days. Plus yoga for stretching.

I'm guessing you've never heard of zinc oxide.
