More power to him. When I was young and skinny, I started noticing effects at a sustained 60 miles/week.

I really don't think he's setting a dangerous example, because most people trying to emulate him would find that something gives--joint, muscle, whatever--before it got to the point of danger.



"The science is clear, for example, that although the female brain isn’t designed to compartmentalize personal feelings the same way a man’s brain does, a woman can--if she chooses--force a calm demeanor when she is starting to feel defensive."
