In this video, we reveal why running alone isn't enough, the power of strength training, and how to fuel and recover properly to stay strong, pain-free, and fast into your 50s, 60s, and beyond. Don't let muscle loss hold you back-watch now and take control of your running longevity!

Spot on with the need for strength training. Interestingly many sources say half squats are all that’s needed but I went back to full squats which give me so much more strength (also do rdls, bdls, split etc).

sadly all very true in regard to muscle and fitness loss. I had time out from running from about age 55 till I restarted at 66. I was utterly shocked at how much I had lost. It took a year to get past 5km runs and that in about 60% performance compared to age 55. Now I am approaching my 70th birthday and have seen steady improvement in stamina, strength and speed- Along the way I have become aware of both the need for strength training and also starching work to open up my still too restricted flexibility. But it is getting better...rather than declining so you are right that you can do something about Sarcopenia. Half marathons on the cards again in March and May. Making strength work a priority till then. Keep the good videos coming. Very motivating !

Thank-you! A nutritionist coach re-emphasized. Advises to do 'squat snacks' when sitting too long at a computer. 20 reps every hour or so.
