    I totally disagree with you once you have built up your muscle and have done low impact cadio and master that and master high impact cadio it is okay to run aging with the right train and shoe. Even my Dr. gave me the go ahead to run.

    I see what you mean Ndfcdf, I had a partial knee transplant in June 2008 and running is the last thing I should do if I want it to last as much as possible. I am only 42 and the lifespan of the transplant is 10 to 15 years. After, the doctor told me that I will need a total knee transplant. The lifespan of such a transplant these days is 20 to 25 years. Hopefully, the progress will allow me to have a functionnal knee for as long as I can be active. For now, I do my training without overexerting my knee, that means low-impact aerobic work only.
