If you think 50 or 55 is old, what does that leave for those who are 70+ or even over 80? The Sunday run/breakfast group I joined in 1971 now has 13 members over 80. (I do not count the 5 or 6 who have passed on.)
Our group still meets to run, jog or run, whatever each can do, every Sunday morning before we have breakfast together. Outlook can make a big difference in aging.

http://www.quantcast.com/letsrun.comVery possible that the majority of that 69% could be between the ages of 18-24 and 41-49.
If you look at the roadrace results, that 25-35 age is often under represented.
Well, I'm 27, so that is at least one of us.
60
But as for being an "old person"--it's all relative.
I'm a lot younger than the universe, the planet, the Pleistocene Epoch, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ming Dynasty, and somewhat younger than Satchel Paige.
And depending on who's describing my running (or hobbyjogging) pace, it's sprinting (if you're 99 and bedridden) or walking (if you're Geb) or somewhere in between.
That's all you need to know.
My birthstone is lava!
56, every once in a while I learn something on here

LMAO.
Everyone, thanks for your input. I didn't realize there were so many of us here!
