sandymere 8,261 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Running is good, some long steady and some faster stuff, say 3 to 4 runs a week, a bit of gym stuff once or twice a week and a couple of rest days off a week to recovery and bobs your uncle. I'm 56 and still come in the upper end of races over both short and longer distances and manage the odd gym session without embarrassment. Running itself doesn't damage joints, its the twisting and turning that does the damage in sports, but i does give excellent cardio vascular results. If starting to exercise take your resting pulse, taken 1st thing in the morning before getting out of bed over a couple of days to get an average, then repeat each month. You will see it drop the fitter you get, mine is between 40-50 which means over a day my heart beats approx a 3rd less than the average person, so is under much less stress. Each beat is more effective, the blood vessels are more effective, over all the whole system is better able to cope with the everyday demands of life. Lastly I enjoy the challenge of running, both in racing and when just pushing myself in a training session and its a good way to exercise the dog so whats not to like. this was my late 40's and not a deal of difference today other than a few more lines and a little less hair. exercise keeps you young, a body is like a hinge it becomes rusty through lack use. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus I suffered, to the point it even entered my my mind "I can't do this" then i had a word with myself and my old mentality kicked in and then I pushed through through with shear mind over matter 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 That's what it's about Mush, once you have learned the pain is no reason to stop you run through it and that's what makes a runner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 You need to warm up as you run try and keep a cadence as you set off, and if needs be after ten mins or at a good point , stop and stretch off and go again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kerny92 1,246 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Been looking at all the newspaper clippings me and my brother were in as youngsters for a running achievements, i wish I'd had stuck at it now. We were better than another athlete from Barnsley Sam Ellis who ran for Great Britain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The facts are i was better than him at a younger age when i competed. He stuck with it and fair play to the lad, just wish i had my head more screwed on when i was a teenager.
