Coach Lynn got me to a PB at London Marathon 2019. I'm a back-of-the-pack runner incorporating Jeffing (Jeff Galloway) run-walk into my races. She is awesome.
I ran my first marathon, first any race actually, at 63. I’m 70 and plan another marathon the day after tomorrow. Gonna be 80 degrees when I finish and it’s been unusually cool here, I haven’t trained in any kind of heat. Yep I’ve had planter fasciitis and I do my therapy before getting outta the bed, after every run, and before bed every single day. It’s working. And, yeah, more rest days than most training plans include. Warm ups and stretching every single run, and some every morning and every evening. Started doing tri’s a couple years ago, a couple half Ironman distances, less brutal then marathons. Basically, I’ve been doing everything suggested here and things are going great. Great advice.
resistance, calisthenics, and gymnastic training are such a huge bonus for any age of runner but especially as we get into the more senior age group... AVOID heavy weights!!!
Thank-you. I'm a burley 71 year old guy, now, and need a day off at least or almost two days off if I'm doing a 15km run, usually an 8km run. I like my 1'30" plank often before bed.
Thank You Coach -- Ran my 4th marathon the Donna Foundation marathon last month -- I fractured my humurous last April and still do the therapy exercises daily
65 years old male. I "run commute" to work 4 flat miles (1 hour) and 4 home once per week. The other 4 days I "bike commute": 20 minutes. I'm trying to increase my"run commute" to 2 days a week.

Awesome information! Thank you for recognizing us “older” athletes. I love your strategies…especially the 10 day training cycle. 😊

Thank you. What do you think about all these Zone 2 training recommendations? My Zone 2 is me just walking and that feels silly, I like to run.
