    Yes, but if you're a 30 year old chubster, starting running barefoot is going to **** you up quicker that an industrial blender.

    Not surprsingly, my running shoes are the cheapest I could find, £5, and so thin they bruise my heels on rough ground. Then I discovered that running on rough ground and bashing your heels is actually good for you. Cobblestone mats are recommended to lower blood pressure.

    It is clear that my total meanness is a valuable survival trait.

    I enjoy aerobics and jogging, when I push myself my joint gets unbearable, but a little seems to ease it for a while.

    Hopefully it will be a case of getting referred for a cortisone jab and to take things steady, but, it is a fine balance of not exercising at all and continuing to the point of wearing out the hip.

    I jog gently for around 2 miles a day, days I do not jog I do an hour long high energy but fairly low impact aerobics class.

    Seriously considering cancelling the docs and just carrying on, but will face whatever music there is………
    Alistair - isn't time you gave up this charade?

    I don` t like jogging or running much.The stresses on the leg joints are high with high impact. The knee joints especially were never a great design to begin with. Much prefer walking fast up hills.
    The average age was 30, lots of people lasted way beyond that.
    Infact the Menopause is natures way of stopping mothers and daughters competing for resources in child raising (instead they both look after the new generation)

    Although Nike will have you believing otherwise, Mankind learned to run thousands of years before inventing shoes.
