While many people slow down in retirement and seek a quieter lifestyle with fewer physical demands, there are also those who view old age in a completely different way. One of them is Radovan Radulovi\u0107 from Montenegro, more precisely from Podgorica, who has entered his eighth decade of life but still runs as much as 10 kilometers every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For him, as he told RTCG, running is not just a habit or a form of recreation, but a way of life that combines physical activity, a love of nature, and a sense of inner peace. He says that his morning run gives him the energy he needs for all the responsibilities that await him throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radovan runs 10 kilometers every day to stay in shape and, as he explains, to remain ready for longer races as well. Although he is at an age when rest and a slower pace of life are generally expected, he insists that movement is precisely what gives him strength and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI run away from my own generation because everyone seems worn out to me. It\u2019s important to stay physically active, and then age affects you less. It\u2019s not just a hobby. It\u2019s a love combined with a philosophy\u2014to enjoy nature and find a kind of active peace for yourself,\u201d says Radovan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He points out that it is difficult for him to imagine a day without running and that a lack of activity would leave him feeling empty. According to him, retirement does not have to mean standing still. He still has responsibilities, spends time with his grandchildren, and takes care of everyday tasks, but running gives him a special boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI get bored sitting at home doing nothing. In retirement, you still have responsibilities\u2014you look after your grandchildren, take them places, and so on. But when you finish a run, it gives you a boost and a positive signal. You gain energy and the will to handle all your other obligations,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
