Mine was stop and go... that is the killer. Low and slow is better..
Running in the city is a pain because you come to red lights, traffic, bicyclists, groups of pedestrians that feel like they have to occupy the entire width of the sidewalk, etc. You really have to know what's going on around you too.
The last doctor I visited with advised me to not get old. I thought it sound advice.
In my family I've noticed everyone is different when they age. My father still is energetic and going strong in his middle 70s. His brothers are generally doing similar. Others in the family I've seen slow down earlier in age.

The bike is less impact on the whole body. My ortho guy says that is what to use instead of the running bit. He is a runner and says he should have done the bike thing years ago instead of running. He is having issues with his knees now too. The things we know now we wish we would have known years ago.

They run around $1,000 with the Titanium band and Sapphire screen. The high-end models run $1,500 - $2,500. Those might purr. I suspect that they're going to add LTE in the Fenix 6.

I could play competitive basketball til I was 62, then my knees couldn't take the pounding anymore and I switched over to tennis which seemed like a vacation. I was pretty good for my age and could hang with the youngsters.
7 years later I've slowed down to the point my game now resembles how much I want to play tennis in the worst way.

At 70, I play basketball worse than I did in 8th grade.
14" taller and now can't reach the bottom of the net.
Strain just a bit on freethrows and now cannot shoot college 3's.
In 8th grade, we'd tool the faculty, which consisted of sub 35 year old teachers. Student body was over 1,200, so maybe 40 male teachers including 2 ex NFL DB's.

Do you play on pavement or wood? We have a wood court at my club and it's supposed to be a lot easier on your feet compared to asphalt.

I typically buy $100 tennis shoes. Last one was a Head. The soles seem ok. I've tried swapping $15 Dr Scholls insoles but did not notice much difference.
Mainly concerned with reducing impact on the knees.

A few months ago, I was stationed on a project far away from home. The upside was that it allowed me to increase my tennis from once per week to 3x per week. I found this to have anti-aging effects. Playing singles for 2h used to tear my legs apart and require ibuprofen afterward to nurse my sore Achilles and knees. Now I can play 3 days in a row without even feeling it.
Mine new slogan is: 60 is the new 80.

One of my good hitting buddy's is 62. He played D1 and generally stayed in shape. He was probably UTR 12-13 back in the day, now he's about 9-10. Still pretty damn good for his age, he can run us around pretty well.

I think doing resistance training is a big thing as we head into our 50's and 60's. Maintaining muscle mass and strength will help you keep your metabolism and joint mobility at an effective rate. Lots of band work, and dumbbell work along with core stability, rollers and stretches.
For cardio, power walking and swimming are great for fitness and weight management.
A diet full of super foods with anti inflammatory and anti oxidant properties is a good thing, and eliminating vices ( Smoking, alcohol etc)
Best supplements ( or my favourite ones) include magnesium, CoQ10, fish oil, vitamin C, whey protein and bergamet are good.
Focusing on effective periodisation in terms of training intensity, frequency and volume needs to be monitored and this I feel should also include your work/life balance.
Being happy and relaxed without unnecessary stress can do wonders

Every single bit of junk food you put in to your body has an impact on your longevity.
Does it not mention six score years in the bible?
I understand that figure is only likely were we brought up on organic food till we are adults and continue till we die - with zero junk mixed in.

The Bible says three score and ten or 70 years.
I'd suggest looking at Blue Zone research. These are research studies on communities that live the longest in the world. Offhand, some commonalities are:
- community
- a lot of exercise (like walking to your neighbor's or gardening)
- beans (several other staple foods too)
- vegetarian diet or fish/vegetarian diet

The days of our years are threescore years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,
yet is their strength labor and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Most mammals get about 1 billion heartbeats, which at 60bpm works out to ~31.7 years. Humans obviously do quite a bit better, actually the great apes in general do better - chimps can get to mid thirties, and have a resting heart rate around 80 to 90bpm.

I'm currently reading Infinite Powers, a book on calculus, and a book by Mandelbrot on Fractal Geometry.

Light reading again man..
The infinite powers book is light reading. It's not a math book. I have about 14 calculus books in one of my math and science bookcases at home and there are a few that I'd like to get started on. The book on Fractal Geometry is as it relates to the financial markets. It is not a math book - it's probably aimed at the finance professional. It helps to have a computer science background to read some of the ideas - Mandelbrot was brilliancy at such a high level and sometimes you get the feeling that he assumes that we know what he knows.
I would like to learn about Fractal Geometry from a proper math book but it's a tough decision on getting the original book from several decades ago; or a modern graduate textbook which covers the bases.

It's hard to do a controlled study given individual differences but the Blue Zone research seems decent as it compares groups of people so the individual differences may be minimized by using averages.
Koreans drink alcohol instead.

As much as I love the Bible and many of its truths, it is not a scientific journal so I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt.
Man's longevity has continued to rise in the industrialized world suggesting that we aren't doing a whole lot wrong. But everyone should be well aware that regular exercise is key followed by a moderate well balanced diet of mostly plants. But not everyone really buys into that because "magical thinking".

I would add that avoiding the flu promotes longevity and quality of life.
53 here so close to 60 and I hope nothing drastic happens at 60. Most people think I am 40. I play tennis religiously and in the off season I am in the gym 5 days a week doing core and strength training. Of course age is having its ways with me in ways I cannot protect with exercise. Vision and Prostate come to mind. I wonder what else will go wrong that exercise cannot help prevent.

53 is not close to 60 ... 55 wasn't either for me. 59 is/was.
Repeating myself in this thread ... I would have made body weight squats part of my routine after 50. Not a gym guy ... body weight squats would have been easy and very helpful. Better late than never.
