    F running. It’s so hard on a 40+ body, for so little gain.

    Walk walk walk. Walk uphill if you can. I love setting the incline on my treadmill super high and walking slow.

    Walk and strength training.

    I like the feeling that I've put the work in with running. I know in some ways it's not the best for me but it gives good cardio and I can set goals with it. Plus I like the maps and community from Strava haha


    Gotcha.


    I reached out to my MIL who’s an avid runner and trainer and sprinkle it in with some of my own knowledge.

    -Get properly fitted shoes. Look at the bottom of your shoes and see if you’ve got excessive wear from pronation or supination. Or find a runners shoe store that can properly fit you a shoe.

    -Strength training to fit your legs. The stronger the muscles are around your knees, the better they are at taking the punishment of running.

    -Implement the Galloway Walk method into your training.

    -Proper stretching and icing!!

    Good luck bud!!!!

    I don’t think there’s anything we can say to make you not feel like that, but you're a good dad QT and you’re doing what’s best for your kid.

    Continuing to keep trying to be healthy and doing a fair bit of running but my knees are often stopping me from doing so.

    Don't really want to splash out for a physiotherapist or something so I guess YouTube for knee strengthening exercises it is!

    Incidentally as I turn 40 this year (ie next week!) I'm going to be taking part in the "No Rest for the Wicked" event that they do every year here:

    So basically any other tips on how not to utterly destroy my knees/ankles would be very welcome!

    i didn't even like the tv show and i'm excited about this.


    Not even Season 2 with the Punisher?


    "Only I do the one thing you cant. You hit'em, and they get back up. I hit'em, and they stay down!"


    Too much Karen and Foggy, too much Kingpin's tragic love story, too much Matt existential angst, not nearly enough Daredevil doing Daredevilish stuff. The Punny addition was fun but didn't do anything to cut back all of that. By the end I was ff'ing more than watching.

    I ack there are budget and production reasons why we can't get 44 minutes of Daredevil punching baddies, it's just what they gave us instead was basic tv soap drama 101 - and borderline completely separate from or irrelevant to Daredevil's story - and however great D'Onofrio is, it just doesn't hold my attention.


    I dont disagree with any of that.

    I think I enjoyed the Punisher parts enough the other stuff didn’t seem as bad.

    Your wife is awesome ...
    ... can I clone her? It would be rather appropriate considering the theme don't you think?
