    Great advice, don’t wait for the weather to change instead change your mindset “get out side and train” 🤙🏽

    I'm 53 this week, I'm aiming for my first ultra when I hit 55, so it's good to know it's possible for anyone. 😊

      I ran my first ultra at 52, so it definitely can be done. I was a hiker for a couple years before that but not a runner or an athlete. If I had all the discipline in the world I would go back and train for 2-3 months in zone 2 for 2 hours a day, as many days a week as I could stand (up to 5). The mitochondria buildup a capillarization that happens would just set you up for an amazing training block. I’d work on running form and cadence during those sessions as well. You will get some amazing fatigue resistance and durability from it as well. I took too long to do base building phase and added in intensity too early, ended up injured a lot. The proper way to run is slow, slow, slow, the speed comes with time. Add in strides after a month and speed sessions (tempo runs, hill sprints, etc) to get speed. I’m now running hills I never thought I would ever run, by learning to run slow uphill and not let my heart rate get out of control but still keep good leg turnover. Again, slowly getting faster. Best of luck.
