This guy i think age 62 now. Older than me.......

He really rocketed out of T2 transition. (I cant do that coz jelly legs need a bit of activation exercises)
He didnt post the second 2.5k run timing tho, nor the bike timing.

Fooking fit lou as an old age amateur.

From my experience, he is very likely to be able to sub 17 his 5k at his current fitness.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Damn....... got his timings for bike and last leg,
20.7k bike = 34 mins (36.5 kmh)
2.5k = 9:34 (3:50 pace, 2.4k = 9:12)

Fwah.

And the 1st and 2nd places aren't young, dont think younger than age 50 confirm 100% (possibly 60s even)

Like this ah?

Yes.

Just try this for anterior tibialis if you do not have any equipment now. Then for calf raises that's self explanatory very common exercise out there.

Also hits both legs in 1 shot so this can save time for ya, well you can do 1 legged as well but vast majority out there untrained can't manage for more than a 1 or 2 so not much use. Or if next time with training you are aiming for no more 10 reps. (even for me having trained this for years, cant do 1 legged with moderate no. of reps)
If you want to increase resistance, then place feet farther away from the wall.

But dont strengthen if still pain now, if very mild pain can start liao.
That also means in some cases you cannot start if pain is moderate or high and you didnt hoot any NSAIDs. And it can be quite a while. So choose your poison.

This one confirm more than sufficient to make anterior tibialis very strong, i used it for racewalking training during covid time. The front of the leg damn solid, strong and defined,

Thanks mate!

I like the way she is doing those push ups.....what i have been doing for training for the past year as well. Explosive up, slow eccentric down, decline of 50cm height + resistance bands. Or you can add clapping as well.
A touch of plyo for middle aged folks is always good for your latter years (for fast twitch)

Hmm......seems like not natural despite the claims.
Gym scene really more than meets the eye.

Using ChatGPT 4o to review the video. Aerobic exercise is highly beneficial for Mitochondria health, especially for the older folks.

Key Points from the Transcript of "Preventing Aging Mitochondria through Exercise":​

1. Role of Mitochondria:
   • Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for our cells, protect against cancer, and play critical roles in hormone production.
   • As we age, mitochondria can become damaged, leading to decreased functionality.

1. Study 1: Aerobic Exercise Intervention:
   • Participants: Included 20-year-olds and 70-year-olds.
   • Intervention: 12 weeks of supervised aerobic exercise (cycling).
   • Results:
     • Both younger and older participants showed increases in mitochondrial proteins (e.g., PGC1α, citrate synthase) linked to mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolism.
     • Mitochondrial dynamics proteins (involved in fusion and fission) also increased in both groups.
     • Relative improvements were similar between young and old; however, absolute improvements were smaller for the older group due to lower starting levels.

1. Study 2: Comparative Study Based on Activity Levels:
   • Participants: Compared young active individuals, older active individuals, and older sedentary individuals.
   • Findings:
     • Active older individuals retained greater mitochondrial protein levels compared to sedentary older individuals.
     • Mitochondrial function (ATP production) in older active individuals was comparable to that of young active individuals.
     • Muscle cross-sections revealed that older active individuals had muscle composition more similar to younger individuals than to older sedentary individuals.

1. Key Insights:
   • Exercise has a significant impact on improving mitochondrial function, even in older adults.
   • While older individuals experience smaller absolute improvements compared to younger individuals, being active preserves mitochondrial function and muscle health.
   • Active lifestyles can result in mitochondrial function that resembles that of younger individuals, regardless of age.

1. Caveats and Context:
   • The comparative study did not control for other health variables (e.g., nutrition, sleep), so the observed effects might not be exclusively due to exercise.
   • Relative changes in mitochondrial function might not fully reflect absolute functional differences between age groups.

1. Conclusion and Takeaway:
   • Aerobic exercise is a powerful tool to enhance mitochondrial health and function, irrespective of age.
   • Regular physical activity can preserve mitochondrial function and muscle health, making older active individuals physiologically closer to younger active individuals than sedentary peers of the same age.
   • Leading a healthy lifestyle, including exercise, is crucial to maintaining mitochondrial health and overall physical vitality as we age.

Conclusion:​

This video emphasizes the profound impact of exercise on mitochondrial health, showing that aerobic exercise improves mitochondrial function across all ages. While older individuals may have lower baseline mitochondrial function, consistent exercise allows them to achieve significant improvements. Additionally, being physically active can help older adults maintain mitochondrial function comparable to younger individuals. The findings highlight the importance of regular aerobic exercise in combating age-related mitochondrial decline and preserving overall cellular health. For individuals looking to maintain energy levels and metabolic health as they age, incorporating aerobic exercise into their routines is a highly effective strategy.

Still fast enough, he doesnt train / do 5k one

Sprint first talk later.....

One of my colleague in BKK for long weekend.... think many SGreans there.
Sacred the FUG out of him.

Never expected this to happen in Bangkok.. Somemore they say is the epicenter. What is the geographical explanation?
