Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

But how old are your knees and ankles?
Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It’s fun, better for your joints (even though I’ve never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I’m beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.
I was a fairly regular runner up until about year ago, and I’ve not had too many knee or ankle issues either. Trail running sounds fun. Might give it a go (once it’s not fucking freezing here).
Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can’t run anymore because knee pain :(
There was an arrow involved…
Running is beneficial for knees and ankles over medium to long timeframes. There’s a 100 year old guy that runs 10k every day and his knees and ankles are doing fine.
