Sort of agree with Neil on this but...

And there is a but.

At the end of the day it is his body and if he wants to push it hard (or even beyond) then that is up to him. I am sure he is well aware that nothing lasts forever and there is always a price to pay. If he wants to do 20 miles like this and is prepared to pay the price in later years then let him.

The plus side is that he, unlike us, now knows what it feels like to have done this. At the end of his life he will have an experience we will not have. We may make our bodies eke out a bit further but who knows what our futures bring. The last 20 years of life could be a waste and huge pools of drool on the pillow.

If there is some kind of afterlife we cannot take our bodies with us, but we may be able to take our experiences.

Live life - don't be scared of it.
