Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
What do you do if running hurts your knees? Just do it anyway?
I have tried changing footwear but generally if I walk a lot my knee will hurt. Doctor said thats just how Iโm built I guess.
I would like to get into it. I guess I could just do NSAIDs?
Running is in most cases good for knee health in the long term. It could be that you just need to take it slower to build up the knee strength.
Important: If you feel pain, stop and wait for it to recover.

Check out this guy. Now full transparency I've never checked his stuff out, but people who know far more than I do say he is legit and I know a few people who have used his videos to work through injuries and improve their range of motion and it worked.
Theres also some "Performance enhancing compounds" that can supposedly improve longevity and recovery that can help with joint issues but thats a whole rabbit hole and the research just isnt definitive, I've dabbled and I feel like they worked and know stuff but I'm not trying to advertise for that sort of thing.
It depends. Do they hurt because the cartilage is gone? Then I'm pretty sure you are boned and have to pick one of the other three midlife crisis. Otherwise try physiotherapy. Lots of things cause knee pain: imbalance of muscle strength, muscle tightness, poor running style, bad shoes. Don't power through on pain killers - you don't want to also be in pain when you aren't running. Oh, and bad shoes is the last thing to look at out of those four. People can generally run in anything. A shoe that compensates for one of the other three problems is not a good shoe.
Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.
Fuck. Running.
Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.
So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.
none, just neutrally observing my fastly declining physical recovery rates and wondering if it will be in the negatives 20 years later
Thrifting should be an option.
I can tell Iโm the target demo because the Goodwills all play music I like.
I know itโs a thing, I see kindred souls with the same millennial dork vibes all of the time.
As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!
Running
I don't know, running for a lot of us is just having our bodies start breaking down and want to avert that.
Biking fills a similar crisis role, as long as you paid $15K for the bike. Bonus points for removing three of the six chainring screws when you're 50 pounds overweight.
Japan?? Ummm, wut? Damnit... I'm still going.
Iโm not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. Itโs a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. Thereโs even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)
Music ๐ผ๐ต๐ถ
More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else ๐ฅ๐น๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐ป๐ช๐ช๐๏ธ
Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.
The two that don't involve me having to do any physical exercise ofcourse
None, more modelmaking, hiking and reading.
Okay I'll bite
What is pickle ball? Is it like Calvin ball? Also, whoever finishes reading this comment will forget they were ever gay.
3/4 for me.
Just finished my second 1/2 marathon, got a masters last year and trying to go to Japan this fall
