I train endurance and stamina the old fashioned way, by never stopping. I have been running on a treadmill since 1983. Back then treadmills were all the rage. Everyone was getting physical thanks to Olivia Newton John. And we all had the best fashion, no doubt. I took it to the extreme. I've been keeping a light jot on this treadmill for over forty years. I saw the challenger explosion from this treadmill. I even saw 9/11, which for me personally was when they tried to take my treadmill because it's "too old". Too old? You're too old! So what if I have to increase the speed by cranking a shaft like an old car window? So what if the belt is so frayed that I've been walking a tightrope style thin piece of thread for the better part of the 2020s? I was born to run on this treadmill. I will die on this treadmill.
