The six points list could be used for any training program at any age. 🙂 Not doing speed work and just slower distance is probably the most common mistake that older runners do. At 56 I realized that I had to get back to consistancy with the speed work. My 10 k times are now going down again @ 7 runs incl 2 threshold + 1 tough 40-50s hill (+ 5 swims) per week. (training week, not race week)
I decided to be at my prime at 50. I could never be better than I was back then, but I can have a better over all physique and work smarter. I have a goal to run 10K in sub 40 minutes. Also I have an ambition to work on muscles I never focused on when I was younger. My rest heart rate is currently 45. I can also feel a slow improvement when it comes to strength and agility. So keep on going, folks.
This really resonated with me in so many ways. I especially like being realistic about what your fitness level is right now so that you can set realistic goals. Thanks for sharing! 👍
What about people under 50? Do the same tips apply? How can I run faster each week? I train 3 times per week, with a quality workout, a recovery workout and a distance workout.
If we lose muscle mass as we age, I assume that also includes heart muscle mass? So how do we "older" runners strength-train the heart muscles, like other muscles in our body? Or is that even possible ? Or does running at an older age place more strain on one's heart, thus the possibility of a heart attack increases ? Thank you (btw, I know you are not doctors, just asking your opinion :-)
I´m 46. Started running at 45, so an year ago. It´s hard. But those 60+ running 5k below 20 minutes inspires me.

Looking forward to my class this afternoon guys ❤
Start my 5th year with you next month 🎉
Love this! I don’t run as fast like I used to but I run smarter!! 58 and strong! Thank you coaches!
I’m 60 and guilty of a number of those mistakes. Thanks for pointing them out! Time for a change….
Good video! I need more strength training consistency.
I find that every tips can be applied to most runners regardless their ages
Getting old isn't for the weak

I’m slow because I’M OLD! ‘Nuff said.

No where in the video title said “over 50”…?😅😂🤷🏻♂️
I believe that over 50 runners are his primary focus.
Agreed that it should probably say that in the title.
It's called a "die". ("Dice" is plural.)
