Middle-aged or older? Looking to reduce your mortality risk? A recent study is worth examining, since it validates much of what we already knew, including the magic number of minutes for workouts
Hi Sarb, your return to running series was quite motivational for me. While I don't expect I will be able to return to actual running, I have set myself two key targets in relation to exercise. There is still a long way to go, however, I have made a definite start towards those targets, which involve multiple journeys up a 335 m high hill near where I live. I returned from one of those climbs this afternoon and read your email. I'm in the middle-aged category, so maybe there's hope for me.
“In general, engaging in MVPA at any time of day was linked to a 50%-75% reduction in mortality from all causes, cancer, and CVD, depending on the amount of MVPA done.”
Yup - there’s no best time. Just do it :)

Great effort - I'm sticking to the book while still working on strengthening my calf at the moment. Hoping to return to some run/walking soon ...
