Grok3 is the latest AI engine. About year ago I began using ChatGPT, then perplexity.ai and OpenEvidence.com…. Grok3 is AI on steroids…I use it to ask about everything….it’s absolutely incredible. The future is here….for the rest of us….

Regarding running: that’s just me….my first time out on the track was July 1, 2022…I weighed almost 195 lbs and could only slow jog once around the track before I had to walk a lap, which I could only repeat 3X.

I worked my way up to running 3 - 5K’s per week; however, I now think I was mainly running too fast (a lot of anaerobic heart rate); although I did manage to reduce and maintain to 160 lbs, for the last year.

Recently, I’ve slowed down to Zone 2 running (70% of my max heart rate); which I do for a 10K, 3X/week. This keeps my heart and lungs in full aerobic condition the entire time….sustainable running (and more comfortable).

Even so, running isn’t required…my younger brother (your age) uses an elliptical, since he has hamstring issues.

The important thing is to work up to getting your heart rate into your Zone 2 aerobic zone for at least an hour, 3x per week.

If you aren’t exercising currently, give yourself plenty of time to work up to that goal….most folks should be able to achieve the “hour in their aerobic zone” in a couple months with regular exercise.

You’ll be amazed at the results, which extend well beyond dealing with prostate issues.

I have read Dr. Peter Attia’s book, “Outlive”…twice…it’s an amazing work of how most of the current medical establishment (Medicine 2.0) has pretty much failed to adequately address the long term effects of the chronic horseman (dementia, diabetes, heart disease and cancer) and he provides actionable information, based on scientifically determined results, regarding what he calls Medicine 3.0…focused on preventive, patient controllable lifestyle issues.

Btw: I enjoy a 7 ounce glass of red wine every day 😉

All the best,

Alan

I’ve been running every other day since mid January. Up to about 4.5 miles around a track. About 40 minutes. With change in diet went from 227lbs to 206. I’m 6’0 and it feels good although a new look. The other days I ride an incumbent and do some weights, planking, etc. I haven’t had a PSA since weight loss but it’s probably still elevated. I enjoy wine too. Even make my own Pinot and Cab but for now just taking a break until I get some more info about my prostate condition. I’ll check that book out. Thanks.
