Listen Later

Want to know the secret to maintaining your running speed and endurance even as you age? 

 

You may be wondering…Can you STILL run like you’re 20 even at 40?  Why older runners can get faster is what we’re talking about in this episode!

 

This was such a fun and informative conversation with my friend Carolyn Coffin who is a fellow running coach, podcaster, and physiotherapist.

 

We're sharing our top age-defying running tips that will have you feeling energetic, strong, and motivated to hit the pavement in your 40’s, 50’s, and beyond!  We know the stereotypes out there with age and running…

 

”You shouldn’t be running anymore”... “running is bad for your knees”...“Your too old to run marathons anymore” 

 

The real challenge is understanding how you can get faster at any age.  We will explore factors contributing to older runners' speed, such as experience, training techniques, mental resilience all while sharing real life stories.  

 

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, these tips will help you defy your age and reach your running goals. So, let's get started and take your running to the next level!

 

We answer these common questions and so much more:

 

- Does running keep you healthy as you age

- Does age affect how fast you can run

- What is the age graded score for running  

- Can you run faster after 40

- How to improve sprint speed over 40 

- Misconception about getting faster as we age

 

There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long!  Learn them here
