I hope I can do same. Now 60 and live my training. As a teen I was a sprinter. Then left athletics out of lack of interest. I now have small kids and I have read how each hour running adds 2h to your lifetime. With small kids that was me sold. I don’t have speed anymore but have been doing 80-20 running. Lots of easy distance. I’ve never been healthier and have now a V02max over 50.
It is my relaxation. Just me and the road and watching how my body is working is a form of meditation in itself. Plan on running as long as I can and getting to a marathon this year - target is sub 4.
As I age I only worry about care for my kids. But being able to run distance also shows the kids discipline, patience, and grit.
The sports we choose as we age should be not just good for us but also those around us. It’s a virtuous cycle.
And Dag has my utmost awe and respect.
