A 60-year-old man runs 5 kilometers a day. Is it so much? Is it a heavy physical burden?

Men over 60 years old are suitable for running, provided that they exercise regularly before 60 years old. If you don't exercise much for most of your life, it's a bit difficult to run 5 kilometers after retirement, but it's not impossible. People who exercise regularly before the age of 60, starting from 1 and 2 km, insist on jogging for 5 km and a half without any problems. People who have never exercised before the age of 60 should start running step by step from 200 meters and 300 meters. As long as there is nothing wrong with your body, you can jog for 5 kilometers for a year or two. Life lies in sports, and running is not limited to age.

The key is whether you have a running foundation before you are 60 years old.

If you are a runner before the age of 60, and you have been running for many years, and you have participated in several marathons from time to time every year, then you can continue to run. However, we should pay attention to the number and rhythm of running, and truly achieve healthy and injury-free running.

If you are a 60-year-old man who has no running foundation, I suggest you be cautious again, because the elderly are osteoporosis, running is easy to get injured and fracture easily. So it's best to start slowly, step by step, and gradually improve your adaptability to running, and then decide whether to continue running according to the situation.

Therefore, whether a 60-year-old man can run depends on his physical fitness. If you don't have the physical quality of running, you can't force running, but running is harmful to your health!
