087 - Training Tips for the Aging Athlete


Listen Later

We are, each of us, getting older every moment. (Scary, we know!) So how should we think about adjusting our training as we age, particularly if we're still hoping to perform at a high level? That's the question we address today. Steve, Clay, and Brad talk about how to constructively use life's constraints, how to think about approaching progressive overload as one gets older, and why the wisdom that comes with experience—including a better understanding of one's fatigue—can help offset physical decline.
