Hello, I am a long time lurker, but this is my first post on the board. I want to say that I am very impressed with the knowledge, and decorum of this board.
I am a 51 year old guy, previous smoker, then fat guy, but have been relatively healthy for the last 2 1/2 years. I am working towards simple , and I am also a runner, mainly using Maffetone's methods. I also work as a carpenter, so I am generally active. I tell everyone that I want to be healthy enough @ 80 to walk in to the wilderness, and get ate by a wolf. That is my long term goal, along with eventually running at least one ultra.
My question is; things are going well, should I screw it up? Should I be doing some high intensity work? Or is the "explosivness " of swings good enough? The ability to jump, or do explosive type moves seems to be the first to go, and I want to be young for as long as possible.
Opinions, please
