Sorry for the typo . The title should say, don’t feel old.

You should apologize for repeatedly putting a space before periods.
Ok, Cocksuck:e!r
There are some excellent athletes at 40+.
But I don't think Brady is a good example. I think he definitely feels pretty old. QB isnt the most demanding position, but it is still pretty demanding and has taken a toll on him. You can bet he is feeling a lot of tendonitis and maybe even some arthritis from years of high intensity training and lots of hits.
Well ole Bernie was firing off 1500 in 3:30 fifteen years ago, I felt decent at that age and was 40 seconds slower.

That might be a reason for them not to feel old, but not for you. Sorry.

you don't stop running because you got old. you get old because you stopped running.
you are what you train to be.
cheers.
43 is a great age for running, and so is 45. I ran close to my half marathon PR even at age 48. But after 50 things got harder, I'm slowing down every year now. Your mileage may vary, however, some people just keep on going and going, it all depends. Some are even getting better, I mean, compared to their 40s
