“You Can Cycle. You Can Swim. Why Do You Want to Run?” — At 68, She Refused to Quit

At 68, Susan Hunt was told by an orthopedic surgeon:
“You don’t need to run anymore.”

She has labral tears in both hips. A common issue in endurance athletes. The logical choice? Stop running.

Her answer:
“Because I want to run.”

This isn’t about ego. It’s about identity.
It’s about functional strength, mobility, and refusing to let age quietly shrink your world.

In this clip, Susan explains:

Why linear training is dangerous as we age
The importance of mobility and twist strength
How she trains for injury prevention
Why hip replacement isn’t inevitable

If you’re 40+ and want to keep doing the things you love, this one’s for you.
