Today, the weather is much cooler. It can be said that it is becoming autumn then winter now. I haven't run for donkey's years and now I really want to try again.

I never heard of "donkey's years" before. I do not understand your second sentence. Could you explain it to me?

Well done for DONKEY’S EARS! A fantastic expression!
No corrections needed although ‘it can be said’ is very formal. We’d probably say something like ‘it’s really starting to feel like autumn’

Well-written, but just to nitpick towards perfection:
"it is becoming autumn then winter now" sounds a bit clunky to me.
"It is becoming autumn now then winter will soon follow" is an alternative.
I agree with the other corrector about "it can be said" sounding formal but it's all good.
If it's too cold then run faster! (maybe)
