From your post:

Pretty inspiring, not going to lie.

CVD prevention, rapamycin, ATTR prevention, these all might help to achieve this (and exercise of course and stuff like that).

Yeah… no!

That’s not the physique- body of a 40 year old guy… looks like 90 to me. Just say’in. I want to hit 100 looking better physically.

You have a superficial streak in you. I’ll put you on a rowing machine - put you through a workout where you won’t look 1/2 as good.

This is him not gassed.

True… true… middle of workout not great. Have to say… but at end of my workout is when I take my gym pics… got my pump on… blood flowing … color good. Bit of sweat on the temples and in the hair. See my avatar.

He’s not bad… but still not a 40 year old physique… maybe a good mid’ 70’s look. Just trying to knock down the hyperbole of the media. Lol.

What’s wrong with looking 20 years younger-ish. I like to think I can realistically pass for early 50’s at almost 67. But not 50 years younger… physique of a late 20’s year old dude… nah!

Oh and yes… I wont argue… I have a very superficial streak… and aging doesn’t help it at all. Hahaha.

How sweet! Believe it or not, but that’s what rapamycin does.

Great video! You don’t look or act like you’re 70. I think this is proof that Rapamycin works.

How long have you been using it now?

Almost for 15 years. Seems too long, but it does work for me.

At 77, she’s as fit as a 25-year-old. What her body tells us about aging.

Most runners see substantial performance losses after they turn 70. Not Jeannie Rice, who just turned 77 and ran the Boston Marathon on Monday.

She has broken world women’s records in the 75-79 age group for every distance and, at times, beaten the fastest men in that age group. At the Boston Marathon, according to unofficial results, her time was 4 hours, 27 minutes and 17 seconds. It was very slow for Rice, but she still placed first in her age group.

Researchers are studying Rice to understand how humans can stay fit as they age, regardless of natural ability and the reduced physical activity often seen in older people, said Bas Van Hooren, assistant professor in nutrition and movement sciences at Maastricht University in the Netherlands and one of the study authors.

Rice, a retired real estate agent, proves “it’s never too late to start exercising,” Van Hooren said.

Non-paywalled articles on Jeannie Rice:

Six days after she set a new age-group world record in the marathon, running a time of 3:33:27 (averaging 8:08 miles), Rice agreed to visit an exercise lab in England where she underwent body fat measuring, treadmill testing, and other running and jumping assessments. In the resulting case report, which was published last month in the Journal of Applied Physiology, the authors shared that Rice has the highest V02 max (47.8) ever recorded for a woman aged 75 years or older, and a surprisingly high max heart rate of 180.

And a longer interview with Jeannie:

I may have missed it but did anyone find her actual VO2 max?

Her VO2 max was measured at 47.9 , the highest ever recorded for a woman over 75,” Zanini says. “That would still place her among the best 10 per cent of 20 to 29-year-old females.

the 75 1 age category
