Weight Bearing Excercise for Us Older Folk...
This could have gone in the training forum but weight bearing exercise is a topic of special interest to us older folk.
I used to trail run but the past five or six years have been all about the bike.
In the interim a local city has put together a stellar trail system which I recently discovered. An exploration walk led to a hike which led to a run and now I go twice per week. Today I decided to invest in a nice pair of trail running shoes - one of those zero drop natural foot shape shoes from Altra.
Not sure that I have a point to this thread other than to say that I'm really having fun. Cycling will always be my love but I had forgotten how much I enjoy trail running, especially with the headlamp at night.
The fact that it is weight bearing is certainly a plus. Osteoporosis doesn't run in my family but why take chances, especially when the Georgia countryside is so beautiful
