Why do Shalane and Deena look so old?

Age gracefully wrote:

I am a huge fan of both Deena and Shalane but our HS team had a debate about it.

Basically here is the argument.

Would you be willing to have their careers if it meant you had to look like they do at their age?

Is it from age, mileage, sun, or diet? Or maybe a combination of all?

Uta Pippig looks great for 53.

Who cares, Shalane is a babe

I'm 51 and from CO mountains.

A lot of very hot, fit girls/women arrive here and bring whatever sport they do with them and then go off the rails outdoor fitness freaks. Guys too.

Without fail, if they stay 10 years or longer (lifers) they all end up looking like Clint Eastwood/Keith Richardsin the face.

Sun-fried, crows feet, tight wrinkles in leather look.

Fit as phuck, tight asses, and no fat.

....But never as pretty as when they got here.

Excessive fitness and sun destroy skin cells.

Shalene looks older than me.

+1

Lived in Snowmass eight years, 8,300 ft.

for those on the mountain: Ski instructors/patrol, in the winter, then more outdoor work in summer: construction/trips to Mexico or Hawaii in the spring, run/bike/ etc.,

Results in premature aging, skin like old leather and for long timers cataracts before age 60. 30 year old women look well over 40, but you could bounce a quarter off their bums and catch it in the air.

^^^ This.

Two differences:

You guys are insane! Do you know what the average 40 year old American woman looks like? As a male that age, I do and Deena and Shalane are easily in the top 5%. You do realize they are not wearing excessive makeup when they're running?

Average?

...So we're using the average 40 y.o. women's appearance for comparison to the very fit 30 something of Shalane??

Pretty low bar there, but from a wrinkle point of view, the OP is still valid.

Extreme "fitness" takes a toll on skin and other cells and brings premature aging.

It's not a big surprise.

Seb looks like he’s put on a bit of weight. I wonder if he can still break 6:00 for the mile

Why do people keep talking about makeup? You don't judge how someone looks with paint on.

Photoshop can make Clint Eastwood look presentable.

Yeah, and hes 88!.

Just saw The Mule and was kinda shocked by how much hes aged, but he produced, direct ed and had the lead role and constant screen time in it.

ADD: I've meet Shalane away from the track and she is beautiful.

Nice dogs.

For Example:

I find all this talk about makeup a little odd. Maybe it's just the area I live in, but almost no women I know wear makeup, except perhaps for a little eye stuff. But none of that thick lacquered stuff you see on the Kardashians. I mean, I've actually kissed a few women, and I never have to negotiate my way through that goop.

I wonder if Ms. Joanne Marie Pavey . . . or Ms. Shalane Flanagan . . . can still break 6:00 for the mile.

It turns out that all of the Ultraviolet Ray Exposure from the Sun (URES™) has damaged the prefrontal cortex of Ms. Shalane Flanagan.

For Example:

2) Oh well.

3) It's not a big surprise.
