I'll see if I can find a few articles but there's been extensive research done to support the idea that most running backs deline due to usage more than they do age alone.
I know there's one long-standing theory that if a running back hits near or exceed something like 900 carries over a 3 year span then you almost always start to see a decline. And there's also magic number for individual seasons as well, I think it's 370. If a running back hits this number of carries in a single season then they're pretty much done no matter how old they are.
