Thriving as an Older Runner: Staying in the Sport as We Age

Описание: Get in touch with Coach Sher! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Hi Running Friends! 


Aging presents unique challenges for runners, but it also offers opportunities to adapt and thrive in the sport we love. By focusing on smarter training routines that prioritize recovery, strength training, and nutrition, older runners can maintain their passion and excitement for running.

• Recognizing changes in bodies as we age 
• Embracing a reduction in mileage for physical AND mental health 
• Prioritizing recovery through sleep, stretching, and rest 
• Strength training as a crucial element for maintaining muscle 
• Managing potential discomfort through proper warm-ups and cool-downs 
• Redefining success to include consistency and celebration of runs 
• Adjusting nutrition for better energy and performance 
• Staying motivated through personal goals and community support
