yes, you are cheating.
though many others are in the same boat as you, totally prevalent at masters races, after a few beers, they admit it.
its what is happening now.
family med docs will give you anything to get you out the door,

I think in a few more years, we're going to hear lots of cases of prostate cancer and BPH (enlarged prostate) as a result of widespread use of AndroGel. You realize that it inhibits your body's ability to naturally produce testosterone, right? Any excess AndroGel your body can't immediately use gets converted to estrogen, increased levels of which have been linked to cancer... not just man boobs.
I'm quite a bit older than you and can't use AndroGel because it's on the banned substance list. What I do instead is two to three brutally intense workouts each week: either weights, hill sprints, or intense intervals.
I think older (50+) athletes need to rethink traditional training. Training is no longer about VO2max and running efficiency. It's also about boosting T-levels and hGH levels. As such, the hard days need to be brutal... brutal.
How hard should they be?
Every so often when I finish a set of weights, some total stranger comes over and says, "Are you okay?"

I think you're spot on. I'm 56 and have managed to place in a couple of masters track championships, and I came to exactly the same conclusion. You have to do some explosive and intense efforts to fight the decline in T-levels and HgH.
bro, all you need to do is start doing some DEAD LIFTS. Brings out NATURAL testosterone and HGH! BENCH PRESS and SQUATS also bring out natty testosterone. Do these exercises twice a week and you should be good.
Google Fenugreek.
DHEA also boosts estrogen (the female hormone), so you could aldo still end up with man boobs taking it.

If your local fun run is not USATF sanctioned, then you are not violating any banned substance rule. If your local race is a USATF-sanctioned event, then yes, you are violating the drug rules. As to the advice of the last poster, DHEA also is a banned substance, and I haven't checked, but I don't think you can get a TUE (therapeutic use exception) for it.

85% of men already die WITH prostate cancer. (Not of)
How would you notice any difference when its targeted towards end stage athletes poste 50?

"Assure" its approval? I believe you have misused the word. I believe you meant, instead, to "ensure" its approval.
Assure means to promise.
Ensure means to guarantee.
Insure means to provide or obtain insurance.
Before you act like an arse and correct someone you should ensure that you're right. Both mean guarantee. It's the context that defines which to use not the definition which is essentially the same.
