Running makes you look old

[Anonymous]

i agree most serious runners i know do age more quickly than our non-running peers.

I thought i was the only one who ever noticed this.

Believe me there are plenty of people around here who aren’t killing it in either category and could use a nice jog

I know the miserable people of DCUM will say I’m making this up but I’m always mistaken for younger than I am. I was a college coach and mistaken for a team member. But everyone here likes to make snide generalizations that tear others down so go ahead, reply with quote and say there’s no way.

Ok. But you're 39, which isn't old. Talk to us when you're 59. (I'm 37, so not bitter).

Everyone looks old at 59! You're really going to avoid exercise to try not to look your age at 59?!

Living longer makes you look old.

I think they may look “older” but they also look healthier and more vital. So yeah, skins a little weathered but they look good overall.

What’s up with it? 7 pages of people mostly trying to knock down women who are making an attempt to be healthy and strong and accomplish things. 7 pages of people knocking down women for not prioritizing a wrinkle or a sun spot over a healthy BMI and heart. 7 pages of women trying to justify laziness.

There are other ways of accomplishing those feats without punishing your face. Walking, to wit.
