Should I be doing other exercise in addition to running?
As a runner your body needs to be robust enough to withstand the demands of impact so a small amount of strength and conditioning work can go a long way. Aim to strengthen the key muscle groups involved in running - quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves.
Yoga or pilates are also activities to help improve your core strength and to counterbalance any muscle tension that running creates.

I am 83-year-old female. I have not run for over 40 years and doubted I could. Today, at the right place/right time I was watching my great grandkids play football and had the urge to run and I did. I felt a euphoria and could just not come down. Should I keep trying?
