Synopsis

As you move past the age of 50, the physiological demands of running require adjustments in training intensity, recovery, goal setting, and mental outlook. Running Past 50 is your guide to addressing those demands so you can continue to enjoy, compete, and excel in the sport you love. Accomplished runner and coach Caolan MacMahon shares practical advice and her personal stories to guide and inspire you to set realistic yet challenging goals; adapt to the body’s changing realities, including the female-specific changes brought on by menopause; identify the building blocks of successful training; establish and maintain an aerobic base; maximize training while minimizing injury; and incorporate rest and recovery more effectively into workouts or training cycles.
