I’m 40 and don’t experience any of this because I’ve remained active and eat well. I only just got into whitewater kayaking as my latest hobby and I doubt I’d have noticed much more of an edge at 27. Even with climbing, I still compete and doubt I’d notice an edge unless I was at the level of a full professional.
I think the aches occur in neglected muscles and skeletons. They’ll come for us all one day, but 27? Not good.
This is heavily dependent on your genetics. It sounds like you’re pretty lucky in addition to taking care of yourself, congrats! I had to take a step back from dancing around 27, because I kept injuring my knees, even with sufficient training, musculature, and recovery time built in. It’s now been several years and I’m okay, but I simply cannot be as active as I want to be (tbf, I was dancing for 14 hours a week, but I had the time and energy for it. I still do, but my knees complain 🤷)
