      I think the secret is to be building joint strength by running for 40 years.

      It’s funny, I want to beat his record now, but know it is impossible - I would have had to start competing in triathlons 20 years ago. It’s highly doubtful that I’ll be doing triathlons in my 80’s, 40 years from now.

      Yeah like Nath said, running regularly actually strengthens your knees. It’s only bad if you try to go from not running to running a lot all in one go.
