Hi all,
I finally entered the 40+ AG, and it's not that fun.Mostly because I think I am at the point where I can feel the accumulated damage from 15 years of marathon/triathlon. What I mostly noticed is this: loss of mobility/flexibility, and wake-up next day pains (and throughout the day frankly). And I am pretty sure these 2 problems feed each other.
It's not that bad, I can still do my 6-8 hours WO/week and ramp up when needed, but it's becoming more and more grueling. I think it is time for a change of strategy if I want to still race ironman later on. I need to find something that will improve my flexibility while building strength. Don't really want to take up yoga so what's left? Would P90X-type of things do the trick? What's your experience?
