[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar boat, OP - 46, starting to cut back my mileage a bit because I'm not racing long distances anymore.  I used to run close to 2,000 miles a year.  Now it's just over 1,000.  I used to run 12-20 miles on the weekends - now it's 5 or 6.  No issues with my knees, despite the fact that I've been running seriously since high school.  Most of the people I know who have had knee issues were doing sports like soccer or basketball where they had the sudden stops and turns, which is harder on knees than just straight-up running.

I'm having some issues with weight gain, but for me, that's mostly due to thyroid issues.  (got my diagnosis a few years ago but haven't medicated yet.)  
 
I do not run every day, though - I run Tue/Thur/Sat/Sun and lift Mon/Wed/Fri.  I think lifting is really important, for muscle building and general fitness and calorie burn.  Sounds like body pump does that for you.

You may find as you reduce your mileage that you can reduce your calorie intake without much trouble.  [/quote]
