I haven't read "The Comfort Crisis", but but for the last dozen years, I've spent three and a half months training hard to compete in the Bataan Memorial Death March male civilian heavy division[0], meaning I race a tough marathon course wearing a 35 pound pack. I do well.

I'm pretty sure I'd be in the top 10% of LTPA in that study, at least for my most recent ten years. I haven't spent the money to have any of my longevity markers tested, per-se, but I did get a (free) arterial wall stiffness test[1] last year and my heart did very well for any age group, and yet I was sixty.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them, although I'm about to go for a morning walk and may be gone an hour or so.

I'm on the opposite side, not caring for my health with bad habits, walking/biking for entertainment reasons when not feeling depressed.
