i get it. i went from 220 (which would've been healthy probably had it been more muscle) to 168 in a two-year period. Simple lifestyle changes. And i agree that some people's bodies can be conditioned to take the pounding of running, but i have a feeling even most of them are going to be feeling it in old age.

Running is my go-to because you just step out the door and go, whether it's at home or traveling. And I am blessed with miles and miles of trails around my abodes (urban and rural/mtn). But as I age, I am trying to really sub in other stuff.

So, I've crept back into the low 90s--a lot of it is muscle, but i understand that it takes daily work and discipline to not become a fatass again.
