Ever considered sleeping on a harder mattress, which would promote movement as you sleep? Regarding back / hip issues, if you sit a lot for work etc, a kneeling chair could give you some benefits. The hip position is much more relaxed and the effects go all the way up to your head and shoulders. Kneeling chairs still put most of the weight on your bottom, so you’re not putting a lot of pressure on your knees. Finally, maybe you’d enjoy keeping a kettlebell at home for workouts. It’s an extremely functional workout tool and you can see improvements in your balance thanks to the swinging motion of some exercises. The “Enter the Kettlebell” Pavel Tsatsouline video is up on YouTube and shows all the fundamentals. Thanks for your great reviews and tips over the years!

Man, I’d love to be 40 again. You might remember I didn’t start running seriously, with all the minimalist stuff (including info from your posts and videos) until I was 42. I think sometimes age becomes an easy excuse when maybe the real reason is neglect. I’ve stuck with the basic ideas of natural running and I haven’t missed a run because of injury in at least 5 years. Of course, I’ve also kept my weight down, so that helps. I crash and burn in races more than I used too, though. My training is even more half-assed and spotty than it used to be, and I also have the bad habit of trying new shoes and strange form ideas on race day. I did set a new personal course record last year around this time on a race I’ve done many times, so I know I’m still capable of good running. I have some upcoming races planned.

I remember that you’ve laid down some seriously impressive runs. I would think that’s possible again. Maybe it requires a dose of humility and patience. It seems to me the some of the answers can be found in your earlier runblogger posts.

btw, I still believe mediocre novice runners can learn from the elites. Have you watched the breaking 2 video? It’s so interesting to see the similarities in form (especially in the use of arms and position of the upper body) among the runners in Eliud’s group.

Nice to see you posting again.

We are all getting older and slowing down, myself included. Keep running…or resting.
