Hardly an excuse not to run. There's more dropping dead through gluttony and laziness. I've loved running ever since taking up long distance as a teenager. I gave it up when married for the obvious reason of too much time training. I now have that luxury again and I'm loving it more than ever. I agree. .it would be wise to get checked out to see if you're fit enough but, the doctor will put the onus on you to decide on whether you run or not. The doc's examination will be basic.

Admittedly diet and lifestyle are significantly influential factors in determining human longevity or lack, of it. Only a fool would believe otherwise!

Having said that, some "schools of thought" adhere to the notion of there being much evidence to suggest genetic make up plays an even greater part in the number of years any individual is likely to survive.

So who's right and who's wrong?? Well ... ... I, for one, wouldn't begin to presume to be qualified to say. ... all I can recommend is to practise moderation in all things.
