Run for life.

Beginning our running journey can be for some as helpless as when we first learned to walk.

The tried and tested low intensive adaptive programme is reassuring as is the knowledge and experience of the forum.

As we progress and find the things we need to support our achievements, enjoyment and personal choices, many doors can open up.

Nothing however has prepared me for the extent of medical research found on here and it’s findings.

Truly inspiring and for me it cannot be ignored.

Get fit in six minutes per week.

It is ironic that to run for life you first must run for your life.Yes fight or flight , gut bursting, HIT, sprinting.

On this video it gives the details, 3 sessions per week, 20 mins of which 2 mins are flat out sprinting.So one hour per week.

It shows that this is the only way to renew/replace for some our mitochondria and increase our VO2max.

It does not claim to replace low intensity training but all the medical research contained in this video has very profound benefits to our health and indeed extended life as is demonstrated.

I believe we are all responsible for ourselves, choices and health, but we are also precious.

I think this forum is also great at unravelling the misinformation and unfounded claims and recognising profound research when presented with it.

I cannot ignore the pursuit of these findings and replacing some of the lower intensity running.

I have watched this video through several times, and as a non medic, I have tried to understand what it is concluding.

I am looking forward to following it, and comparing it with other interval speed training.

Never could I have been prepared on embarking on this journey to find that our bodies repair better by abdominal breathing, modest fasting and now by sprinting,it can renew mitochondria which is around 10% of our body mass and also helps fights disease and extends life.

Its run for life alright and how you do it is run for your life.

Hi Flick,

If you go to pinkaardvarks/Mikes post of the same name you will get it.

Or simply google that same title.Its about 20+ mins long and it is worth watching all the medical research.

There is a piece on menopausal issues and hugely significant medical fact about the non hardening of ladies hearts with age.Tremendous information.Poor hard hearted males.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Enjoy it Flick,I think it is the most interesting piece of research I have ever read in 75 years on this earth.Thanks to Mike for posting it.Also to Decker for posting one hours of running gives you 7 hours of life. Huge piece of medical research by Lee and others across the pond.Also under Deckers post very recently.

Just WOW.Both of them.But I just love the Australian/ Canadian piece.Early days but perhaps not for us seniors.πŸ€”

Take care of you.πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’₯β˜„οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

I'd already googled and youtubed with no luck. Perhaps post the link anyway for those who didn't see the original thread or who are not computer savvy? (I dont mean myself, but many people are not comfortable with computers) :) x

I am a techie πŸ¦• and I would post it if I could.

You can post it.

Googling it has not been a problem. Snappy title and up comes a young beautiful Aussie doctor called Anya.

Also, without ploughing through 500 results, the only run for life thread for a bit is yours

Ah, ok, that was not obvious from your post. The title looked like just a comment.

here you are: bit.ly/2A51aUf

All you need to do for future reference, once you have your source, is copy and paste the link from your browser's address bar. I'm using bitly, which abbreviates URLs, but the full length link will do just as well. :) x

Thanks Flick. Yes did not want to be too gushing and let people judge for themselves.

We all have uniquely differing needs.πŸ€”πŸ‘πŸ‘

Always love, all you need to do.πŸ€”πŸ˜‚

Enjoy it, the most important thing is the piece of research.πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’₯πŸ‘πŸ‘

Yes, have begun watching it, but had better get up before the postman catches me in dishabille - i have a signed for package due today. Last time he caught me in my after run shower, wrapped in a towel and dripping everywhere.

Very lucky postman.

Bet he loves delivering to your address.πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’₯πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

He teases the hell out of me. He saw me running across a field last summer and yelled at me to go faster.

Interesting. i wonder if i can mange this. My problem is low resting heart rate and low blood pressure, that means I have to keep moving at the end of a run or i get very faint. I certainly dont want my blood pressure to get any lower. I see you have rests between sprints, so can they be walking rests as in the early weeks of c25k? Hmm

not very happy about what theyre doing to those mice!

Interestingly I do well over 200-300 intensity minutes a week. i guess we all do as runners.

Hi Flick,

I think it best to get the OK from your running friendly GP.

I am sure the video would be of interest also.

The resting that I observed on the video would not suit you entirely.It seemed to be lay down for 4.5 minutes to recover to resting rate.That is certainly not normal with any exercise low or high intensity.πŸ€”

Perhaps eyeballs out Flick and certainly not to VO2 max as Anya demonstrated twice.πŸ€”

I thought all of this is quite profound stuff.

Take care of you.

Like you perhaps, I feel more than happy to do this.πŸ€”πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’₯πŸ‘πŸ‘
