Thanks for another interesting and informative video Gareth - As a much older runner , I have taken vitamins for many years - definitely needed in the dark Winter months - I had a TIA ( mini stroke in 1997 ) so also take Statins as a precaution as well - I have had arthritis in my knees and feet now for over a decade so I don't do as much running as I would like to - but walk plenty and do indoor fitness cycling and plenty of leg raises reps on light weights as alternatives to keep things going . I have painful arthritis flares up from time to time so it is hard to even plan things day by day and I do not enter many events now months in advance as I might not even get on the start line . Sleep is a problem as you get older - broken sleep and less hours - not even including the midnight toilet visits !! -Hopefully I will keep on plodding for a few more years yet !!
I had a full blood panel done at the cost of £200+. Came back low iron and ldl borderline. Doc didn’t want to go off test results so did his own. Iron ok (did supplement whilst waiting second test) ldl elevated all other bios good.

Iron deficiencies are common amongst runners but not very well-known. Good thing videos like this are raising awareness.
