What age did you peak?

Peaked? Peaked, Peekachu?

Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. And when I do peak, you'll know.

Because I'm gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia's gonna feel it.

THANK YOU too long before that was brought up

This always reminds me of this great, award winning, story which I find to be pretty accurate: That Hell-Bound Train.

Old enough to know that as long as your health holds up, you can always strive to beat whatever your best had been before mentally or career-wise. Having said that, I did peak athletically as a skier in college, and as a runner at 39. Looks-wise around early forties. Even with good genes and a healthy lifestyle there’s no denying gravity after that.

Definitely 20 (other than career). It has been all downhill from there. And my career peaked at 33, but that was poor decision making that hopefully I can correct.

Athletically: 22 as a runner, couldn't put anything together after college

Weight / build: 22 for weight, 37 for build (current age, I'm training for a triathlon, build is solid)

Attractiveness: 37 (used to be 25, but I grew a beard at 37 and I look pretty damn good with a beard)

Career: 37 and counting, hoping not to regress anytime soon

Mentality: 37 and counting, I make fewer stupid decisions as every year passes

athletic: 27-28, although hung on for a good number of years after that with some modified training; but even a better masters runner relatively speaking

looks: 25-30

career: 30-36 (science)

brain: 28 - 41

"I live all over the earth and get paid to do some pretty ridiculous dream-job stuff with some of the most highly respected and visible people in the world. "

What exactly are you paid to do?

Age 23: 5K - marathon PRs.

Age 26: Career peak in terms of awards, national and international recognition.

Age 34: Career peak professional title

Age 35: Peak looks, attractiveness

Age 43: Peak happiness

Age 46: Career peak earnings

Age 58: 5K - marathon Age-Graded PRs

The problem with determining when I peaked in attractiveness is that you can't mathematically compare different values of infinity.

I hope you're not at your mental peak right now buddy

Athletically overall - late 20s

Athletically running - 38

Mentally - 16 (seriously, at least in terms of ability to learn and focus)

Mentality - not sure, maybe not yet

Career - Continuing to progress

Happiness - also unsure - ups and downs

Male.

Looks - 21. No zits, no hair loss. Man, I was hot!

Running - 25. Struggled with injuries for too long to get back.

Career - 30. Going for the brass ring in my field. Didn't get it, but didn't fall far back.

Love life - 37. Finally found someone compatible. We hit it!

Overall - 42. Married with little kids, able to run a little, have benefits of marriage without being in a rut.

Not sure if you're trolling, but I can 100% relate to this.

+1, this one hit me hard.

Running: PRs from 1500, 5k, 10k xc, HM: 23/24.

Surfing: 33

Financial: ha! I'll post back in 30 years!

Personality: 32 (figuring my self out)

Overall: 34/35.

However... more hot chicks (mid 20's to 42ish) flirt with me now at 37 than ever. I've never experienced hot women flirt with me at the rate that it happens now. I live in Orange County, CA: trust me--they're hot! Caveat: they all know me (I'm not talking Starbucks barista types). My theory is that they see strength in me as a committed husband and father, homeowner and bad-ass builder with the best hair you've ever seen. Their pheromones go crazy.

Obviously you are in need of validation from letsrun posters (Why else would you post such self aggrandizement on letsrun)

So rest assure I will give you what you seem to desperately crave. I, as a letsrun poster, validate you as a worthy and desirable person.

Feel better now?

I'm 29 now, I absolutely peaked at 21 or 22. Once college was over I couldn't find a point in life.
