re: At your absolute peak, how good of shape were you in?

Was 5'11 and 175#'s when I graduated HS....will be 47 this summer and weigh 180#'s. was a 300 PFT'er all 6 years I was in the Marine Reserves. Got back into running in my late 20's to mid 30's and consistently ran low 19min 5k's and high 38min 10k's. Did some sprint tri's and usually averaged 23-24mph on the bike and could run a sub 21min 5k to finish the race....that damn swimming part would eat my lunch.

The most I ever benched was 295#'s weighing around 175...always wanted to get to 315#'s....never got there. Had my saphenous vein lasered shut back in '09 and was told my running days were over. Picked up golf and that's now become my main hobby. Still lift 4-5 days/week.......low weight/high reps.
