I know, right? I'm 41, which means I must be dead and gone as far as the author is concerned...but after reading her background, it looks like she doesn't actually have any medical knowledge - she just talks to people that has medical knowledge, then writes it down...big difference...
Bah, this "article" reminds me of the sensationalism that I often see now on the NYT online. A writer finds a popular subject and writes something controversial that offends half the population. Their web hits go up. The media company is happy, and the writer, who is invariably an author of a book, gets some publicity possibly driving up their book sales. Boring, garbage, blah, no thanks! I've stopped clicking on popular NYT links in Google News.
If I'm going to die, I going to die on my feet, not sitting on my ass in front of a tv with a bag of crisps in one hand and a remote in the other.
Just park my ass end up so my kids have a place to park their bikes!

I am not sure if anyone had seen this, but the Wall St. Journal had an article regarding running shortening ones life. Apparently, it had to do with a journal article in Heart. Runners world responded with some thoughtful comments. Also, I have a full article on this in my blog posted today which includes a link to the runners world article as well. I have rarely seen any deaths from running. Read the blog post here

59 next week, heart attack at 43, marathon 8 months after that, half marathon 3 weeks after that, AF, asthma, running 3 to 5 miles most days BF - seems to me as far as this article is concerned - I don't (or shouldn't) exist! Not to mention a couple of bottles of Barefoot wine each week with friends after one of my old dogs has hydrotherapy!
I'm a little less than a year behind you Ronnie though I passed on the heart attack and asthma. According to this article we should both be long gone.
Let's continue to be exceptional!!!

Hi guys, 50 and still going strong. Came back to running about 18 months ago after some 15 years of inactivity. Decided to go minimal and minimal from the start. Currently doing about 20 miles a week at a training pace of about 9:30. I think there is life in the old dog yet. Oh and by the way, I partly gave up because of knee and back niggles, now running niggle and injury free.
I ended up buying a snowblower after shoveling snow the first winter that I lived in Pittsburgh. That was just for the driveway. We didn't even have sidewalks!
