Harvard researcher starts jogging after Thanksgiving in 1967
Dr Ralph S Paffenbarger, Harvard linked researcher, began regular jogging at age 45 after data showed active people lower heart disease risk. He later ran the Boston Marathon on crutches, continues daily walking, and his long term study links activity to longer life. He shared the IOC prize with Dr Jeremy Morris for sport science, arguing time for exercise has replaced rest in modern life.
