A member asked:

Should i still be running at 50+ ?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

WHY NOT?: If you are healthy, not obese, no arthritis, then go ahead! particularly, if this activity is enjoyable to you. If you are forcing yourself to do it and it is becoming a chore, just walk fast...

No problem: Just be aware of your limitations as you get older. Don't train as hard, watch what you eat, get more rest and cross training is a must.
