Re-Building a 50 y/o To Be Fit-For-Life

I’m a nearly 49 year old endurance athlete with a history of multi-day adventure races, paddling events, rogaines (orienteering), and ultra running.  (Lucho coached me through Leadville and other events including a few 24 hour runs.)

The past 6-8 months have been a bit rough, 1st with sacrum / groin issues which the MRI showed as a stress reaction in the pubic bone, and now with a torn ulna collateral ligament (thumb) which required surgery to re-attach it.  The former has meant no running since November 2018, though I was able to walk a lot, hike some, swim, spin, and do strength training. (Mtn biking tended to inflame the sacrum.) Now, with the thumb situation, upper body strength work is for the most part out (I may be able to get away with some core work), and can probably do some leg work.  (LEG EXTENSIONS HERE I COME!) Any kind of serious cardio is out for at least 4 weeks due to the sweat factor making the cast a bit nasty. So I’m leaning towards taking a decent break there, hoping the groin/sacrum issues finally have a chance to heal anyway.

All that said, as an endurance athlete fast approaching 50, how would you rebuild me into a true grandmaster badass?   </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Total Play: </td> <td></td> <td> 0 </td> </tr> </table> </form> <audio controls autoplay style= Your browser does not support the audio element.
