smokepole- agreed; I'm only strength training twice a week (and not overly crazy when I do). I do get a fair bit of running/hiking in during a typical week, but outside of races and an occasional intense training session (usually hill repeats), they are usually on the gentler side.
I've found with age- that consistency with lower intensity is more productive (with lower incidences of injury) than higher intensity and less consistency; of course there areh variances with different folks
yep
lower intensity but consistent as you age
Lower intensity while a part of age, doesn't mean you don't push yourself. An 80YO finished the Hawaii triathlon. Most never do find out what they can do. He wasn't one of them.
