Why this runner switched to walking
from Sunrise Hosted by LiSTNR
Sarah Di Lorenzo, a nutritionist who ran nearly daily for decades, switched to incline walking at age 53 after discovering running was elevating her cortisol levels and causing weight gain post-menopause. Within four months of making the change, she lost 2-3 kilograms, regained her waistline, built muscle in her glutes and legs, and experienced better appetite control and mood. Physiotherapist Tristan White explains that walking is lower impact on joints as people age, and emphasises starting gradually with activities that can be sustained long-term, whether on a treadmill or simply walking up hills.
