When is too much?
Discussion
Good question.
My own personal belief after reading all that I have is that is that people who train correctly to an intense level and are not professional athletes are helping to ensure they're body will remain strong and resilient as much as it genetically can into very old/ancient age.
Professional stars train hard and then they need to earn from it, usually/always going beyond the nominal repair times, shortening the amount of time their body can operate at high levels as they age. People who train like athletes but then don't have to destroy their bodies in competition and can relax with their repair/injury time will benefit the most.
My opinion.

You have saved me some typing !

My opinion.
I have osteoarthritis in my right ankle from too much football on concrete and astro-turf when younger. I stopped playing and put on weight which made things worse. Large ankle support and pain just walking made me consider a fusion. My weight maxed at 17stone in January 2003.
After accusing the wife of shrinking my clothes I finally sorted my diet out, by may 2003 I was down to 14stone 7. I still needed the ankle support but was a lot better. Then in 2005 I started my current job which is very physical = large site with lots of flights of stairs. After 3 months my ankle support came off and it has never been back on. My weight went down to 12stone 7 by 2006 and I started running aswell.
The reason I have waffled on is because rest and an ankle support didn't save my ankle, the stairs at my new job did. Exercise and training is good for you.
