Advice from Lew Hollander, still doing IMs in his 80s, "Do something anaerobic every day."

Thanks Al! I might still be a whippersnapper, but I fully intend to keep using it! 

Bruce Thompson

Thanks Al.. Now go put all those muscles you've retained over the years to good use this weekend at IMLT..  Good luck and have a great race.

Paul Hough

Thanks Al. This article is great motivation to keep it up. The MRI of the 74 yr old guy makes me want to do wind sprints until I keel over.

Thanks Al. Good article, and as they say.."a picture is worth a thousand words"!

Wow what a picture.

So hard to fit time into weight training upper body as the legs get whacked pretty good, but the good new is that you don't need a lot. Just as core can be done with a few planks, prone and side. Pick up some dumbbells and do a circuit of a giant set like a superset on steroids 10 min or less and your done.
