How to start running when you're over 40
I'm not sure why I finally decided to give running a try. I think it was a stealth move by my husband. He has been a runner since his schooldays and even ran the London Marathon 15 years ago, but I'd never been tempted to join him because it was 'his' thing. 'My' thing, I have always said, is dance. Cue a slightly condescending voice: 'Dancing is so much more creative and just as good for you in terms of fitness.' But the truth is I'm now in my mid-50s, and dance has fallen by the wayside because I couldn't find local classes that suit me. My weight has crept up over the past couple of years, probably because I'm in the throes of menopause, and I needed to make a change. It just so happened that my husband's physio (he currently has a calf injury) suggested he strengthen it slowly using the popular NHS Couch to 5K app and, for some reason, I decided to join him. And, suddenly, I'm a runner. A Sport England survey published in April 2023 shows there are 1.3 million more active people aged 55-74 than there were in 2015-16. As of last year, 6 million people in England run regularly, ranking it as the most popular sport, and there have been a record 578,374 applicants for the 2024 London Marathon, compared to the previous record of 457,861 in 2019. Community events are also more popular than ever, with Parkrun, which began in 2004, holding more than 1,000 events every weekend across the UK. The average Parkrun time has increased from 22 minutes and 17 seconds in 2005 to 32 minutes and 34 seconds in 2023 as a more diverse range of abilities take part, proving just how inclusive such events have become. Running is no longer the preserve of 'proper' athletes, it's for everyone. So, five weeks ago, I stepped out of my front door on day one of Couch to 5K. As expected, after running for a grand total of three minutes, I thought I was going to expire on the streets of north London. But now, as if by magic, I'm able to run for a quarter of an hour without stopping! I still don't have the proper kit, much to my husband's annoyance. He wears the full Nike gear, running tights and sweat-wicking tops, while I wear ancient trackie bottoms, topped off with a 25-year-old Illustrated People sweatshirt, but I don't care. Project manager Emma Snead started running at the age of 45 during lockdown. She says, 'I live in rural southwest France and was around a size 20 when I started running. You don't often see many people of that size exercising – especially in France – and I tried not to care, but I did notice people staring. After three weeks of following the Couch to 5K app, I knew I was progressing. I felt better about how I looked and I stopped caring what people thought.' Three years on, she's still at it. 'I run for half an hour every day. Even if it sucks and you're hating it, it's such a short time before you can be back on the sofa that it's not a great hardship. It becomes a bit of me-time, away from work, being a mum, the house. Instead of sitting on the sofa, eating and scrolling through stuff on my phone, I'm by the river, seeing herons and squirrels, listening to science podcasts or the radio or a Nineties R&B playlist I've not listened to in years.' The benefits of running after 40 It seems that the positives of running are myriad: the NHS lists improved heart and lung health, increased joint strength and flexibility, and a reduction in the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. It is also thought to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Dr Jennifer Wilson is a senior exercise and health practitioner at Nottingham Trent University and a trustee of FiiT for Life, a charity that provides exercise training. She says: 'For people returning to or starting exercise, running is a great way to improve health and mental wellbeing. This is particularly true if it is practised outdoors – the benefits of green exercise are well documented.' Running is also recommended for women going through the menopause. Doctor and women's wellness expert Dr Shirin Lakhani says running is an excellent way to keep some of the symptoms under control. 'According to a number of studies, the average weight gain for a woman during and after menopause is around 4.5lb,' she says. 'Struggling with excess stomach fat and sudden weight gain is a very common symptom, and running is an effective way to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. This is essential for managing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis risk. Weight-bearing exercises like running also stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, reducing the risk of fractures.' Jemma Arbon, 42, is a running coach at Mansfield Harriers athletics club. She started running for the first time in her mid-30s, and within a year she underwent training so she could start a beginners' running group. She has gone on to form groups for all ages, and found there was keen interest among older women. 'It's my mission to encourage women, in particular, to be engaged in sport and fitness,' she says. One of her members, Pauline Beard, started running at the age of 67 in a group of runners in their 60s and 70s. 'It really has changed my life. I've met so many lovely people. Being outside and enjoying nature is so good for physical and mental wellbeing,' she says. From my own experience, I can report that a quick half-hour burst of outdoor exercise first thing in the morning has made a huge difference. I feel 'switched on' when I sit at my desk – somehow sharper. And even on days when I really don't want to go, I'm always glad that I did. The downsides Without wanting to put anyone off getting some fresh air and building up their fitness, there are certain things you should watch out for. Dr Jennifer Wilson explains: 'Running can carry with it a high risk of injury because, generally, we take thousands of steps per run. And if that is coupled with a particularly inefficient running technique, it can lead to injury.' A training plan will help prevent injuries, as will the correct running shoes for your terrain (see more on both below). Brushing up on safety is essential, especially for women. Finding a running buddy is a good idea, make sure your phone is fully charged, and always inform others of the route you're taking and your estimated return time. A good way to do this can be through a running app, such as Strava, which shares your route in real time with chosen contacts. One other thing to watch out for is the so-called 'runner's face', when the skin premature ages and can look gaunt and leathery. This only occurs in seriously committed long-distance runners and can result from sun damage and weight loss. To prevent this, always wear a minimum SPF of 30, even during the winter. Running shoes and kit Once you've made the decision to run, it's worth investing in the proper gear to make your life easier (and, in some cases, safer). Get the right pair of running shoes Ideally, you should have your gait analysed at a specialist running shop before purchasing your trainers, which is usually a free service. The analysis will check how your foot strikes the floor and suggest the perfect running shoes to maximise comfort and efficiency. If you can't visit a shop, some retailers such as Runandbecome have an online service. If all else fails, brands such as Hoka or Asics have products that are recommended by podiatrists. According to Run and Become, you may need a size up from your usual footwear as running trainers are made slightly smaller than everyday shoes, and there should be half a thumb's width between the longest toe and the front of your shoe. Be seen When you're running in the dark or the dusk, make sure you're wearing as much reflective gear as possible to be visible to drivers. There is a wide range of appropriate kit available, from running jackets to gloves. Nike Dri-FIT, Under Armour and Proviz all have exceptional products. Choose a supportive sports bra Adidas, Sweaty Betty and Shock Absorber produce some of the best. For a bigger bust, particularly, a wide underband and straps are vital to keep running 'bounce'' to a minimum. Make sure you can see where you're going For anyone running in low light – dusk, early morning, winter evenings – a head torch is a must. It should be easy to turn on and off, rechargeable and, of course, comfortable. Biolite and Ledlenser are both well-respected brands. Keep an eye on your stats Wearing a running watch is a great way to track your progress. A smart watch will measure pace, heart rate, distance and recovery time, as well as fitness levels. Using an app on your phone will work too, but is less accurate (and harder to use) than glancing at your watch while you run. Listen to your body Dr Jessica Leitch, founder of Run3D, which provides musculoskeletal and gait analysis to injured runners, says it's vital to factor in recovery time. 'When you take up running, you're putting a lot of load onto the system,' she says. 'You are going to take about 1,500 steps to complete a mile, and this causes a small amount of damage to your musculoskeletal system during each run, which we call microdamage. Normally, if you give your body time to adapt and recover, it will strengthen over time.' This becomes ever more important as we age, says Leitch. 'As you get older, the key thing to understand is that your body needs more time to recover compared to when you were younger. Listen to your body – it will tell you. 'OK, this is hurting a little bit too much for comfort. I will take an extra day to recover.' If you don't rest, the microdamage that's being put onto the limbs with every step accumulates and weakens the tissues and then you become more at risk of injuries.'

Cisco Study Explores The Truth About RTO Mandates And Hybrid Work
As businesses navigate the post-pandemic landscape, the debate around hybrid and remote work has only intensified. Cisco's Global Hybrid Work Study 2025 reveals key trends and tensions around workplace flexibility, productivity and enterprise culture — a landscape where technology, human behavior and leadership intersect. RTO Has Its Benefits — Yet Workers Prefer Flexibility Cisco's study presents a clear shift: after waves of return-to-office mandates, the proportion of hybrid workers has dropped from 62% in 2022 to 45% today, and 72% of organizations now require some office attendance. Nearly half of those companies have increased in-office requirements compared to prior policies. This trend correlates with self-reported productivity gains (73% of employees report higher productivity) and measurable improvements in retention rates and employee well-being. Yet beneath the positive metrics lies a persistent tension: 63% of employees would accept a pay cut for more remote flexibility, and this sentiment is stronger among high performers. Results from the HP Work Relationship Index align with this point, showing that 83% of global knowledge workers would trade part of their salary for better flexibility and autonomy. The responses of top talent in Cisco's survey also offer important insights about attrition. 78% of high-performing employees would consider leaving a company if work policies were not flexible enough. The Cisco data suggests a significant disconnect between leaders and employees on the value of mandated office attendance. From the employee perspective, 77% believe that a lack of trust drives rigid RTO mandates, and only 39% of employees agree that those mandated office days boost productivity. This sentiment contrasts with employers' perceptions. 88% of employers believe there is a strong direct relationship between workplace productivity and frequent, consistent attendance in the office. There is another disconnect around well-being, with only 28% of employees seeing these mandates as beneficial to their well-being, compared to 42% of employers. However, this does not mean employees never want to be in the office, as 92% believe community and collaboration are key aspects of office culture. Financial considerations also influence both employers' and employees' perspectives on the office, but in different ways. 57% of employers in the Cisco study cited real-estate and building-maintenance expenses as the primary influencer of their organization's preferred work model, while 40% of employees complained about commuting costs. A Lasting Challenge: Proximity Bias And Career Growth Being in the office does more than boost metrics; it also nurtures connection, knowledge sharing and spontaneous learning. The Cisco study shows that 76% of respondents (and 85% of high performers) say office presence has accelerated their career progress. Additionally, 86% of employees and 81% of employers see regular attendance as critical for advancement, mentoring and inclusion. To offer a personal example, early in my career at a Hollywood studio, physical presence in a collaborative office was a valuable part of my learning — and gave me opportunities to seize unspoken opportunities. These experiences, which would have been difficult to find had I worked from home, occurred when 'collaboration tools' meant a fax machine, a phone or email. While today's immersive solutions can address some gaps, capturing the full career benefits of proximity now requires intentional, well-designed hybrid workflows, not haphazard adoption of new devices. As companies seek the right balance of RTO and hybrid and remote work, employers and employees must also remain vigilant about proximity bias. Proximity bias favors those who are physically present, often resulting in them receiving more opportunities, recognition and even protection from layoffs. One study from found that 60% of U.S. managers believed remote workers would be the first to be let go in a downturn. Left unchecked, proximity bias can create inequity, restrict knowledge transfer and marginalize remote contributors even when metrics suggest their performance is equal or greater. I wrote about the potential for this bias amidst Amazon's RTO mandates in 2023, and it remains relevant. This is a cultural challenge, not just a management one. Workers, especially those early in their careers or aiming for advancement, must be mindful of how an intentional, strategic office presence can create opportunities, learning and recognition that are harder to cultivate from a distance. Perhaps more importantly, leaders must prioritize data-driven objective performance assessment over face time. As Francine Katsoudas, Cisco's chief people, policy and purpose officer, said, 'When we make the office about mentorship, connection [and] career development, people understand the value of being there. But when we focus solely on the work, it's a less compelling value proposition.' There Is An RTO Generational Divide Generational differences are a significant factor in shaping preferences about, and satisfaction with, hybrid work policies. According to Cisco's study, employees from different generations report varying satisfaction levels with workplace arrangements, but flexibility is a consistent preference, especially among younger employees. Gen Z employees strongly prefer flexible work, expressing the greatest desire for autonomy over when and where they work. The report highlights that Gen Z employees rely heavily on collaboration technology and are most likely to expect workplace flexibility as a standard. Satisfaction with 'fully flexible' arrangements is higher among younger generations, with Gen Z and Gen Y (millennials) reporting greater contentment under such policies compared to Gen X, who are the least likely to be 'very satisfied' with flexibility, even though it remains their preferred model. Motivations to be in the office vary by generation as well. While most employees across generations recognize the importance of in-person work for career advancement and mentoring opportunities, younger employees are less satisfied with mandated full-time office attendance. For example, only 22% of Gen Z employees are satisfied with being required to work in the office full-time, whereas 38% of boomer employees report high satisfaction with this arrangement. Technology and well-being are again notable factors. Across the full employee base, nine out of ten (92%) employees rate collaboration and a sense of community as top reasons to value the office. Still, younger workers are more likely to expect advanced digital tools and wellness support as a part of their workplace experience. According to Cisco's data, 90% of employees value collaboration tools, but only 32% of employers invest in high-grade technology that supports flexible, hybrid work models. The Role Of Technology In Bridging The Remote Worker Gap This glaring gap between what employees want and what employers provide is where appropriate technology can make a real difference. Realizing this opportunity, tech companies are bringing out new products to close the gap between in-person and remote work. At the high end of the market, we see deluxe immersive tools like HP's Dimension with Google Beam, which uses cutting-edge light field technology, spatial audio and multi-camera setups to create natural, lifelike remote meetings. At a somewhat more accessible price point, the Cisco Desk Pro — which I use in my home office and love — brings advanced video, smart framing and all-in-one collaboration tools to the hybrid desk, making virtual interactions smoother. The two examples just mentioned are high-end solutions, and widespread adoption of products like these will be constrained by expense and IT infrastructure demands. However, a range of more accessible tools can help to connect remote and hybrid workers at lower price points. For example, I use the iContact Camera Pro ($189) and the Elgato Prompter ($299). These tools are designed to facilitate direct eye contact, allowing me to look at my screen or read a script while still making eye contact with my audience on any platform — including Teams, Zoom or Webex. By positioning the camera or script in my line of sight, I can maintain this crucial connection while also picking up on people's reactions and non-verbal cues. This is critical, as a recent study shows that eye contact in virtual communication is as important as in-person eye contact for conveying confidence, building rapport and fostering trust among colleagues and clients. Many device companies serving this market have also made significant strides in meeting-room technology, which can help remote participants feel more seen and heard regardless of which device they are using. Advanced systems now include AI-directed video framing that automatically zooms in on the current speaker or keeps the whole room in frame without manual adjustments. For example, Cisco Webex devices feature 'cinematic meetings' experiences so that remote attendees get a clearer view of the conversation — which, in my view, helps with feeling included. Many collaboration platforms also prioritize high-quality audio with AI audio codecs that can reduce background noise and improve voice clarity even in challenging network conditions. Yet regardless of the device or price point, a gap remains in the investment that most companies are making in technology to support remote work for their rank-and-file employees. Toward A New Hybrid Compact Finding the right blend of flexibility, inclusion and high performance remains a primary dilemma in the modern workplace. The best organizations won't treat hybrid work as a binary choice. Instead, they will design purposeful systems that blend physical and digital environments, maximizing human connection and personal autonomy. In a briefing at this year's Cisco Live event, Katsoudas emphasized, 'It is more of a conversation that we need to have with our people around how they work and how they're at their best.' However, implementing such a conversation in a big organization (Cisco, for instance, has 90,000 employees) is a significant challenge. Leaders must leverage technology and data to create a culture of feedback and trust that can scale beyond one-on-one discussions. Companies should also be careful not to mandate office attendance simply for the sake of following a single standard, as this risks losing access to a broader talent pool and could compromise diversity. Leaders must design in-office experiences that deliver unique value, such as in-person collaboration, mentorship and fostering a stronger connection to company culture — just not every day. At Cisco Live, Christian Bigsby, senior vice president of workplace resources at Cisco, emphasized the importance of designing flexible office spaces, using the phrase 'more wheels, less walls' to describe the approach. He explained that instead of creating fixed, rigid environments, companies should design offices so spaces and furniture can be easily moved and reconfigured as needs change. By doing so, they can also counter the need for larger office spaces and leverage smart-workplace tech to optimize the space they do use. Hybrid work's success will depend on connecting technology's promise with thoughtful leadership and personal agency. This ensures the benefits of advancement, learning and engagement are accessible for all, wherever they work.

Keegan Bradley Stands His Ground After Rory McIlroy's Ryder Cup Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ever since Keegan Bradley expressed his desire to be the playing captain of Team USA for this year's Ryder Cup, he has been the center of swirling speculation. The idea of a playing captain, something not seen since Arnold Palmer led and competed in 1963, has divided opinion across the golf world. But while most of the community got convinced by his stunning win at the Travelers Championship, some big names like Rory McIlroy still doubt the possibility. Keegan Bradley responds to Rory McIlroy's Ryder Cup comment One day before teeing off at the BMW Championship, McIlroy expressed his views on Bradley wanting to play at Bethpage as the captain. CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT - JUNE 20: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland and Keegan Bradley of the United States on the first tee during the second round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on... CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT - JUNE 20: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland and Keegan Bradley of the United States on the first tee during the second round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 20, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. (Photo by) More Getty Images "Because I don't think you can do it (both the roles)," McIlroy told reporters during the pre-tournament conference at Caves Valley. According to the world No. 2, the commitments as a Ryder Cup captain, including the media, meetings, pairings, and speeches, it's just too much. For the same reason, he shot down the opportunity of being the future captain of Team Europe. Bradley didn't shy away from McIlroy's critique. In fact, he embraced it while speaking to reporters on Thursday. "(McIlroy) might be right. We don't know. No one knows," he said as quoted. "Everybody's telling me to start the year that a player can't be captain and have a good year. For me, I feel like this is one of my best years that I've ever had." Bradley has been balancing captaincy duties with a full playing schedule by the beginning of this year, and by most accounts, he's done both impressively. And his No. 11 world ranking speaks for itself. Still, the 39-year-old admitted the pressure is mounting. "There's definitely a lot more on my plate here these next couple of weeks," he stated after carding 72 on Thursday. "The Ryder Cup has always been so far away, and now it's right there ... I'm laying in bed thinking about golf balls the guys play, thinking about pairings. Definitely amped up." Bradley credits much of his preparedness to his vice-captains, especially Jim Furyk, who brings nine Ryder Cup appearances and prior captaincy experience. "I have the most incredible vice-captains, including Jim Furyk, who's been on these teams and been captain a bunch of times. Quite frankly, I've been leaning on them more than any other captain ever anyways, even if I'm not playing." He added: "We're ready for this if it happens. I'm not sure it's going to. I can truly sit here right now and say I don't know what's going to happen. I have to look at myself just like any other player trying to make the team. I'm 10th in points right now, and that's not 6th." Support from fellow PGA Tour players has also been vocal Rickie Fowler and Patrick Cantlay have both publicly endorsed Bradley's inclusion as a playing captain. "I would pick him too," Fowler expressed on Wednesday. "I think it would be hard to find many Americans who would argue that point." "I don't think you're going to find many Americans that are going to argue that he shouldn't be on the team." Rickie Fowler thinks Keegan Bradley should pick himself for the Ryder Cup. — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) August 12, 2025 Cantlay echoed the sentiment, "If I was the captain, I'd pick Keegan. He's played great. If he feels he can handle the responsibilities and still play, he's definitely one of the best American players." If that was not enough, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler also praised Bradley's leadership. "He's exceeded my expectations as a captain," Scheffler stated amid the second playoff run. "He's passionate about the Ryder Cup. He cares a lot about us as players. It's been fun watching him develop in this role." With the Tour Championship and captain's picks looming, Bradley's decision will soon be final. What do you think would be his decision? Let us know in the comment section below!
