Heather Knight Pech achieved a personal record at every distance this year at age 58 after taking months off to heal from a hamstring injury. Heather’s tips on nutrition, recovery, and strength training will resonate with runners of all ages.  Heather, a retired corporate executive, mom of three, and RRCA/USATF Run coach, shares how she holistically approaches her training.  She discusses how she optimizes her recovery, nutrition, strength training, and pacing.  Heather also shares how she stays injury free while running 70 miles per week.  We so enjoyed this conversation with Heather.
