"At our age running is out"
I'm not sure who said the above.
My missis helps run the local couch to 5k courses. They've had lots in their 60s and two (a male and female) in their 70s complete the course by doing a 5k parkrun.
They say if you can walk 1 mile, you can do a c25k course.
They start very gentle - just a little bit of running with more walking - and build from there.
At the other end of the scale we've some superb older runners in their 60s at our running club; very fast; sub 40 min 10k for one, sub 1.30 for a half for the other. And we've an 80-something who still runs marathons.
So maybe if you're in your 90s you're too old?

On the other hand, I know some seriously committed mature distance runners who got into running in their 50s or beyond who love
It.
IMHO you’re never too old to run, cycle, swim etc etc; just find one you enjoy, that engages you and doesn’t hurt too much.
