Anybody notice how surprising tough running can be on the body? I mean I'm only a young lad and from all the mileage so far in my career it already is hard for me to get down on my knees and sometimes walk down the stairs. I don't think I'm even going to be able to walk by the time I'm in my 30s.

Absurd. Gladiators killed or were killed. You are voluntarily stressing your body because you are motivated by one or more factors to do so. There is no valid comparison.
Moreover, there are other modern athletes whose activities carry a far greater risk of death or permanent injury.
