(WTNH) - Running is not simply for the young and healthy. Researchers say older runners with healthy joints can keep pounding the pavement well into old age.

A new study shows that if you are healthy and generally injury-free, there are few reasons to put away your running shoes as you age even into your 70's and 80's.

Experts say the key is to listen to your body and to rest if you experience muscle aches or pain.
