I’m 76. I don’t run for speed. That’s what causes injury. I run slowly and for long periods of time. Then, at age 76, I can win a 10k because the fast runners all quit. They got hurt or disappointed. I run for pleasure. It takes months to prepare for racing, but in the end, where I live, I’m the only one in my age group still running. I do agree with the warm up, eat, rest, and just have fun

@@peterwhite7428 I have no doubt! I am an insanely slow runner… just started a few months ago, but even as a child I was a slow runner so I don’t have any great goals for speed. However if I can keep running this pace into my 80’s I’ll be crushing it!!

As a 66 year old runner I've shifted my primary focus from running speed to over all health. Thinking long-term my focus is to have a better balance of strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. That said I was pleased to run a 1:25:16 half marathon the past two years in a row! Any speed I'm now able to retain is now a bonus.

It’s important to note that running and working out have to constant. I’m 72 and started running again last year. Started at an 11 min 5k and got it down to under 9:30 min 5k (under 30 min total time). I also go to a weight trainer 2 days per week. I had to have surgery that took me out four 8 weeks. It was like starting all over again with my running. Start a program and keep at it! It’s too easy to stop and hard to start up again. Also at my age I need recovery time. I pay attention to my Garmin watch. When it says I’m overreaching and need more recovery time, I listen. Generally 2 off days per week work for me. Thank you for sharing some valuable information!

Agree with the warmups, gym training and sleep. Approximately takes me about an half an hour to get the warm and in the flow. And I have got noticeably weaker in the gym, approximately 15 % weaker than 5 years ago. I do barbell bench, squats, rows, dumbbells, machines and everything between. I really must prioritise recovery and sleep over anything else , I used to train everyday, different sports and intensity, nowadays only running and gym. I noticed a couple of years ago that I got “beaten to the ground” meaning weak and depressed due to under recovery when training every day. But conclusion, I’m the best version of myself anyway….okay bodily and mentally healthy. And a healthy and happy family.

I am 58 and running for 34 years now. I am the only one of my friends who is still running 3,5 times a week. They all quit because of injuries or time or what ever. I also was the only one who never ever warmed up. The guys that warmed up gave up, too. That may be a personal story but also a warning to those who advocate that it is a must to warm up. I guess the human body was not created to warm up when it was time to fllee or hunt... - I never did any strength training. - I never eat befor running. - I do not eat carbs after running. - I never eat them... - I do not care for protein (eating meat and dairy) - My first meal is at 12 o´clock, I run at 9 or 10 in the morning. Trust and listen to your body. It will tell you what no one else can tell you.

One thing I would have loved to see is a specific reference to BEGINNER RUNNERS AFTER 50: More specifically: risk of heart hypertrophy due to training and how to circumvent them? What running modalities are allowed (intervals, jogging, long/short), what exertion levels and how should they look like or feel like for someone who hasn't got a personal trainer to watch over them.

Proper shoes are very important for your pronation type. Definitely stretching more is very important. Proper weight training is also important along with running. I never had any weight problem but after turning 52 years old I finally put on an extra 10 pounds of belly fat. I don't think it will affect my running too much but if it continues over the years it will have a big impact. Time at this age is my biggest issue. I have to work longer hours to pay the bills, support a family, and give my time to my family. If I had more time I would still be in top shape. I think I will have more time in 5 more years becoming empty nester but then I'll be 57 so we will see what happens.

Hmmm… not sure that Pilates with a thin elastic will meet my (49F) resistance training needs (3:00). I think the evidence is pretty clear that we need to be lifting heavy sh*t. Although I’m not knocking the importance of single leg glute bridges as well.

@gonzalotalamantes4822 10 ай бұрын

I am working towards my 5th decade of balance, running, and strength training. A. No stretching in warmup until one is loose (I stretch after the run, e.g., zone two, VO2 Max, back to Zone 2). B. Use rhythm breathing! C. Add Zone 2 runs, VO2 Max runs, and sprints. D. Strength train with less weight and more repetitions and sets. E.1. Zone 2 running lowers my VO2 Max, so I do it at the beginning of each hard run. E.2. Running hard means not running daily, so I walk with a heavy backpack on off days. F. Calories in. Calories out, so weight control is easy. If you are OCD, find another obsession besides food. G. Smaller stride length and faster cadence (like you are on an elliptical machine). H. Land on the forefoot and not your heal. I. Push through the toe when walking, running, after landing, and not on the outside of the foot. The longer and the harder the effort, the better one's VO2 Max (build up).

I was a 6:40 pace runner in Z2 to about age 35 then about 7:00 pace age 40. Now at age 57 about a 10:00 min pace runner. I have always wore a HR monitor and always had a 180 cadence. I have been very diligent with cross training, upper and lower leg strength, core work, strides, etc. interestingly over the last 15 years, cycling and swimming have been relatively the same with only a little bit of slowing. I feel like running you just lose elasticity and your stride shortens. Sure genetics play a role, but my slowing has averaged .7 to 1 percent per year since age 40 just from looking back on runs

Running slower as you age is not true if you are like me and never properly trained. I now run faster at 65 than ever before. 1:49:10 half, 19:57 5K

@toby9999 10 ай бұрын

It's true as a generalisation and it's true in my case. I could run a 90min half and a 40min 10k in my 20s. I could still run in my 50s whenever I felt like it, not that I did much and not very fast. I could also walk 10k steps effortlessly. Now 64, I can't do either. I just get injured super easily. Even brisk walking was causing knee problems, and I had a pf flare up in my foot just from walking. I had to run a few metres to catch a train a few weeks ago (was raining heavily else I would have walked) and pulled a hamstring. Aging has creeped up on me, and before I realised it, I was in a hole that couldn't dig myself out of. Yeah, aging sure puts the breaks on.

This video is a bit defeatist. A guy at work is 52 and every month he's going faster. Just came back from world Ironman. You just have to put in the hard workand more of it. On the other hand I've plateaued, but it's just because I don't really have any intention of doing Ironman. Parkrun is enough for me.

@toby9999 10 ай бұрын

A sample size of one doesn't refute the irrefutable and that is, as we age, we become weaker and weaker until we die. That's not being defeatist, it's being a realist. Yeah, sure, some people can postpone the inevitable. Some people are just lucky, like my father who reached the age of 93. But my sister died age 55 and my mother at 79. It's a mixed bag and that's life.
