WHAT?
For anybody that didn't know this guy ran the Marathon De Sables a few years ago.
Between 1999 and 2008 I ran many Marathons/half Marathons and now at 58 I may be needing a walking stick soon.
Lesson learned, don't run marathons. They wreck your body.
I was told when I was about 19 don't do body building by an ex body builder.
He was riddled with arthritis and in constant pain due to his excessive body building when he was young.
Exercise but don't run your body into the ground as you will pay for it later in life.

I'm 36 and getting arthritis in my right thumb. Have trouble lifting kettles and things at times.

Body building? Phags. Powerlifting m8, do some real lifts.

Just need to check that the reference to a sub 38min 10k hurting is understood....
If you said that to him you would be sleeping with the fish in no time.
He was a very naughty guy.
also, op you're 55. Hah. Old.
Like I said to the "Schoolgirl" masquerading as a consultant at the Hospital appointment I had a couple of years ago when she, in a rather dismissive (and a little bit upsetting) manner told me that I was developing glaucoma and would have to take eye-drops and might go blind.
This has subsequently been very successfully resolved by cutting edge surgery BTW
Needless to say, at that point she actually looked very unhappy!

Not when some people in here can walk to town which is 1 mile away and they can do it in 10 minutes.

The audacity of youth.
I'm only 23 and dreading getting old already.

Then you are doomed and you may as well give up already
