It's getting better

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Erm, yes, best not follow my example, CC5 ... everything kind of tanked big time and very quickly. My mistake was doing too much different training (i.e. a switch to off-road running) too soon and too fast. Everything has to be softly, softly once you get to that "certain" age.

Rough rule of thumb: as your capacity for strong liquor reduces with age, so should you ease back on the strenuous exercise. Long, languid sessions, such as you might have with a pleasant, but not overly alcoholic IPA, are the go.
