Mandymoo Nov 2018 8:50am, 8 Nov 2018 7,460 posts	0 Mandymoo Why is it at after hitting 50 my body seems to be falling apart? My foot is sore again and really hoping its not the return of the dreaded PF, I miss being out running and looks like it is going to have to be turbo trainer time for a while. At least I cant fall off that and break anything.......

Sharkie Nov 2018 9:34am, 8 Nov 2018 14,046 posts	0 Sharkie I REALLY noticed slowing down at ... 60. I don't think there's a number that applies across the board. I hope it's not tempting fate but, age 65, I didn't pick up so much as a niggle last year in spite of training and competing as hard as ever, ie very and a lot. Partly luck I assume - but I think awareness of form and your own biomechanics help a lot. And applying some intelligence to your training. We should have learned a bit by now!
