Wow…you’ve gone through hell. You must really love biking and running to keep going back to it.

I stopped running quite a while ago because I believe the evidence shows it is not the best exercise for the aging body after 40’ish years old. I know people will argue with that, but I have yet to see a older runner that looks their age or younger. I think cycling and swimming, being low impact, are fantastic, along with kayaking. My plan is to do those three sports and keep my weight training going.

I am determined to do everything within my means to prevent a reoccurrence of this nightmare experience. I will be incorporating a lot of strengthening and stretching exercises that address imbalances.

I am a fairly lean 218 pound male. When I did triathlon at my best, I was 168 pounds, but that was way too light for me. Definitely running at 218 pounds is hell on the body.

I have learnt a lot from this guys YouTube channel :

Not sure why the link is not showing up. It is the Institute of Human Anatomy
