[...] Preventative healthcare has come a long way. Doctors are testing for chronic diseases and other problems and are able to help control issues such as high blood pressure before they lead to heart problems. It’s even better when a doctor can advise lifestyle changes before it even gets to that point. Endurance athletes often pass general physicals with flying colors and are told they are in great shape. But for them, perhaps the standards of the exam need to be raised and they can find areas that they too need to improve in. Athletes can benefit from a very complete lab test, a physical test that pushes them and may show their physical imbalances and a good look at their nutrition, sleep issues, lung function, body composition, etc. Some athletes are strong, but could work on cardio, while some endurance athletes such as runners have the cardio, but aren’t very flexible. There are also special medication issues with triathletes and endurance athletes. Some medications can negatively affect race performance, and better alternatives can be prescribed. The final issue is that we are all growing older. If you’re a non-smoking, healthy woman, you can expect to live to be nearly 86 years old.

Alice, we found and rode the Legacy Trail recently after discovering it under snow and unplowed a while back. We’re ready to ride it again. We’ll give you a call and meet up on our Fridays any day of the week.
