Today I had a through physical checkup. The checkup determined that I am almost incipient diabetics and have fatty liver. Oh my gawd! I have foie gras in my body! I must start exercising immediately. After the checkup, I got manipulative treatment in the same hospital. I experienced Western medicine and alternative medicine in a day.

New Office Ambience (5)の松下クリスさんの解説で、わからないフレーズ が出てきました。workstation についての説明部分です。以下ご紹介します。
"Workstation" used to refer to a computer terminal where you would sit and work that was connected to a large mainframe computer that was before the days of personal computers and laptops and all that computing power we have now.
なかほどにある before the days が、どうもしっくりきません。 私はディクテーションの際に、この単語を before-the-days なんて 苦しまぎれにしておりました。この before the days は、どのような 形（品詞）として受けとめればいいのでしょうか。決まった表現なの でしょうか。辞書で探してみましたが、うまく答えを導き出せません でした。よろしくお願いいたします。
