Your showing your lack of knowledge and just going by what you have experienced. No where can you find that muscle turns to fat. The body simply does not have any physiological response where this happens. NEVER. I have no idea why so many people think that but is simply is not true. Muscles can atrophy but simply do not turn to fat.
But yes, increase in bodyfat as we age due to physiological changes in decreased testosterone and estrogen increases. Doesn't mean it can't be avoided, but I agree is much harder as we age.
Your knees also aren't made to take the pounding of running and the triathlons that you said you did. Maybe we should just all avoid exercise?
