That’s for sharing. You’re on a trip that’s truly envious and I look forward to reading about next weeks half.

Ageing well is a relevant topic having recently turned 50 and been checked out with my local Doc

Still waiting on bloods but turns out my BP is higher than the doc would like and needs ongoing measurement before deciding what is next.

That’s despite ~30 years of regular exercise (albeit probably too hard at times) and watching diet. (Everything in moderation and healthy BMI of 25, dexa body fat at 15.8%). Just like a poor diet you can’t out run if genetics aren’t on your side

Almost as relevant, went to what in Aust we call a physio therapist as I had some niggles that stopped me from running for the first time in I can’t remember.

Physio says you’re out of balance, 30 mins of deep work in the rooms + some ongoing stretches for homework. This is despite 10+ hrs/ week of training and daily yoga/ mobility. Physio’s view is that all that time sitting at work has caught up with you!

My take aways from the above - don’t be so arrogant as to think you know you’ve got it figured out (eg mobility) and get tested - again, don’t assume your health is under control because you train daily etc. Get yourself checked out
