Like you , I avoid drugs as far as is sensible. Too often a medical short cut I'm afraid. And testing regimes and the way results are published need to be questioned much more closely, IMO.
Hope it has cleared up FF.

It's quite time-consuming ensuring that there's no build-up during the day, but it's working. BP unknown but I feel fine - especially after morning gym (15 mins on the bike, 15 mins on the rower and 15 mins on the TreadClimber).It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

No. I creep in in my ragged joggers and sloppy Primark T-shirt alongside those gleaming, lycra-clad lovelies and everyone pretends I'm not there
And the ones who annoy me are the runners 10 + years my senior who beat my times by big margins , without any apparent effort
( I was first over 60 to finish in a reasonable size trail run this year, and didn’t get a trophy . Everybody gets a trophy. Except in the Sparsholt 14 k it seems . I must go down to town and get one made )I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I started running seriously a decade and a half or so ago when I noticed that my weight was more than I wanted, I sweated too much, and I got out of breath going upstairs.
Eight marathons later my weight is the same or if anything a bit more, I still sweat buckets, and stairs are still just as much of a pain.
Wouldn’t go back though.

One forum member/ admin used to like to do parkrun, and be on his way home in the car for the start of Building a Library. Nowadays one could possibly do a marathon before BaL ,if one had the ability.
I don’t think i’ll ever do one. But who knows ? Just don’t have the time or, truth to tell, inclination for 3 hour training runs, though would love to have a cracknat one.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

One doesn’t _start_ with those of course. One builds up. If that makes it any easier to imagine?
