The running & walking experiences of an 86 year old man. I used to run and walk alone, but now I walk with my wife, although I sometimes go walking alone. My overall goal is to reach age 100 and still be walking for my long and medium walks. I enjoy my walks, especially those with my wife, although I miss going long distance.

Did a short rest run
I did a short rest run of 0.4 miles. I went out in mid morning, and it was nice to get out and stretch my legs.
First off, excellent post and so much great stuff in there – rest is incredibly important, and it is how your body recovers that dictates everything. I think more and more things keep appearing that back that up, or at least that is what I have been reading. I think I tend to be happy with about one rest day and 50-55 miles in the winter and 60 or so in the summer. And whether or not that is optimal for me being a ‘better runner’, really doesn’t matter. It works great with my time and love of getting out there, and I feel great. I’m sure a coach would knock me upside the head and totally change things up on me, but I really don’t care. There are so many bloggers out there and it's hard to keep track of everyone! Thanks for this list and for including me! Check My recent post
