I’m 71 - last year I ran 47:23 for 10km & 1:45:15 for the 1/2 Marathon - I am more or less doing the same volume of training as I did 40 years ago but now spread the 25-30 miles per week over 5 days rather than 3 or 4. I accept that I will never get anywhere near my all time 1/2 Marathon PB of 1:16:25 but when looking at my results I now focus on how I compare to others in my age category rather than worry about what time the race winners did!

Well, I mainly listen to my own body and my mind. They tell me I can go faster or to slow down. I have run fit app that shows I run a very consistent pace without a heart rate monitor. I try some of the things I hear on the internet, just to see if it helps. Take care, run well. Pete

That is amazing! It's a mystery how some people can run like you do while others have knee problems and have to stop which is so much worse. A relative who was an avid runner had some knee replacements and is no longer the man he once was. He is only 65 and he is a sad shell of a man not being able to move like he used to.

Hi! I'm 68, running g for 40 years, and have been cross training for years. Want to stay injury free so I can carry on running hopefully for many more years. And I love strength training.. free weights, bands, kettle bells, body weight. Mix up running and cycling and other cardio stuff with two full body strength sessions. It's great fun and now retired it's easier to find the time. At only one proper mobility session a week I must do better on this aspect 🤔 but at least always stretch after every sessions. Best wishes to all older runners out there.

Sorry Shona, you've got it wrong - I always run in a fasted state, and then wait at least 3 hours before I eat (after finishing the run). When you're fat-adapted, you have a lot more energy!

I'm glad you mentioned this because I've noticed that if I eat light about 30 min before I run that work out is typically harder than if I don't. I was thinking it must be something like fat adaptation or something. I follow the seasons so in the winter I generally will eat then run as I wait for it to warm up outside. In the summer I run early before the heat and skip that meal. I'll watch this winter when I start eating again and see how it feels after a month or so. I'm 61.

Interesting, I’ve often forced myself to eat straight after. I’m also very fat adapted never eaten before any runs for a couple of years now. I can only find vague information about (you should eat within an hour after a long run🤨) If I’m hungry, I can go for a low Hr run, gain lots of energy and suppress my hunger massively. I think I’ll stick to eating hours after too. 👍🏼👍🏼

I have no negative consequences from this long, slow run. I actually found it not difficult, and I hope it helps me in my 5K race in a couple of weeks. I’ll vary my sessions.

The comment that stood out for me was “stop comparing yourself to your younger self”. When I was in my teens, my training runs of 10kms would be done in 36-38 minutes. Now I’m 53 I sometimes lament the fact that now my 10km runs are in the 50-52 minute range😭. But I do follow all the other advice here, I run one day, strength training next day, run, strength, cycle etc. Works for me and I stay injury free.

I'm 66 and I haven't run more than three days a week since I ran my first and only ultra when I was over fifty. I kept a careful training log but made the critical error of investing too much emotionally in my goal. I turned my ankle over on a winter trail session. It didn't hurt or swell so I took a couple of days off and went right back into training. On the day of the race, at mile 1 my Achilles started feeling tight but I wouldn't stop. I limped all the way through it and achieved my goal, but I didn't run again for more than two years. I had torn my peroneal tendon and running on it screwed everything else up. The peroneal tendon healed but the resulting Achilles tendonitis became a chronic problem. I can backcountry ski up to five days in a row but then I need at least three days to recover. I am trying to tell myself to be satisfied with what I can do because I don't know many people my age who can even approach what I can still do. But the simple joy of running is a powerful motivator and it's still too easy for me to overdo it.

The comments for the most parts was ok but not for everyone. Since I am almost 86 and still active , i can say ,"been there done that". When I trained for a 100 km race at the age of 60, i trained twice a day on most of the days of the week. I also did strength training for three days a week. Nutrition has to be part of any success in training for the long term . I spent 30 years in the military and most of my marathons was after I retired. One of my younger training partners tried to complete the 100 on 4 days a week training but, 70 km he fell out. I stopped running and started power walking at age 72 to be proactive to prevent problems. I walk 5 days a week now and 3 days of strength training per week. I walk Monday til Friday. Strength train Tuesday , Thursday and Saturday. I take Sunday off. My 5 mile walking pace is 59 min. By the way I did finish the 100 km in 11hr and 40 min. In my opinion the over 50 guidelines depends on the individual person. I am still healthy, with no bone of heart problems. Resting pulse still 51 and Vo2max of 45. I completed 16 marathons, many half marathons, 10 milers 10km 5 km. I did this after the age of 40. Strength training and proper hydration while exercising is very important I found out after years of training and teaching others.

As a runner over 50, I agree with everything except for #1 not running every day. I'm disappointed that sport scientists would propagate something that amounts to superstition rather than evidence based. The principle is that one's training load should not exceed one's ability to recover from the training. For older runners who have a lot of experience and learned to listen to their body, there's no evidence that says that running every day is harmful. If someone is a zombie that follows a set training schedule without adjusting distance and effort for how they feel, then moderating the number of days can help, but this type of runner is still ripe for a self-inflicted injury whether they run every day or not.

When younger, a run (apart from a long recovered Sunday run) was always a demanding training session, so never did a 'training' run on consecutive days. However..... now I am older I often (usually!) do less demanding easier runs, so yes it is possible to go out the next day for an 'active recovery' easy run and not have a problem. I think the mantra of "never run every day" is meant for hard training runs. So I do kind of agree with you....and Ralph!

Some useful advice but at 50! I'm 73. When I was 50 I was still running 10k in 36 minutes. In my 60s I ran anchor leg in 400 metres for my club. In my 70s I cycled 35 mountain passes in the Alps in 35 days and managed to ski at 70 mph. And I surprised myself with a 19.46 5k. I only say this because while I agree with the advice 50 seems a bit young! There will be hurdles. I was told I may not walk properly again at 55. I have heart disease, asthma and blood cancer but frequently manage 40 miles a week with a 24 minute park run and very hilly 10k race in 49 minutes. After nearly 50 years of running it still gets me up in the morning. I don't plan to wind down soon ...I've got lots of running adventures to do. 😃

I currently run four times per week but one of those runs is five minutes long. I still get some mental and physical benefit from it (the last minute is designed to be faster than any other run I do that week; it is a preview, so to speak, of future faster and longer runs) and it doesn't put much load on my recovery apparatus. Also, I have one stretch of time every week (mid-afternoon Tuesday to late afternoon Friday, more than 72 hours) during which I do no physical activity other than ordinary living. That is a massive contribution to my recovery. I am 61.

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 52 years now, playing sports up to age of 63 now and running at a 5:00 min pace, give or take 5-10 seconds (runs between 5 to 10km). Weekly average runs amount to approx 30-40 km and total steps for the past year is 5,800,000 steps here in NZ. I confess. NZ hills still frighten me. Ask my Jack Russell. He's with me most of the time. I'm still also lifting at the gym 5-6 days a week. A great diet helps due to my Korean wife's cooking. The biggest challenge is finding the time to sleep more.

I am sure I am doing it all wrong. 54 and I have never been athletic… ever. Ran a 5k 8 years ago with the family, zero training… 36:28 and I felt stiff and in pain for days. I was up to 198lbs in May, cut back to 1600 calories a day for 5 months and I am currently at 160lbs. Started running a 5k (on my own) every MWF 7 weeks ago. At first I could only run 0.3 miles before getting into a walk/run situation…. 42:41. Took me 2 weeks to “run” the whole 5k…. 32:21. I have been dropping time most weeks and this week ran a 27:27. My heart rate is always very high, 174 avg today, but I recover very fast… and my resting heart rate is now in the low 50’s. I feel great after my 1 mile cool down walks. But I plan on keep pushing hard on my runs… I don’t do anything else yet. My weight machine is buried in the basement and my treadmill is still in the box. But I am finally getting somewhere…

I avoided strength training. Now, at 65, I only run three days a week, and do resistance training three days. I’ve also slowed down. While running slower isn’t as much fun (when feeling good), an slow-paced 8 km leaves me feel more refreshed than wiped out. The challenge is knowing what you’re capable of on race day. I found that out yesterday when I didn’t have a good day in a ten-mile race.

I know a lady who was taking that drug and broke one femur, then a few months later she broke the other femur. I only found out about the drug because I was asking her friends, how in the world can you just fall and break the femur. Usually that is from skiing or a car accident but who just trips on a rug and breaks their freaking femur?? And then someone else’s mom, was taking that drug, and her daughter told her to stop taking it because of that risk, but the mom chose to continue the doctors prescription and advice- and just a few weeks later she was walking across the room and her leg just snapped underneath her. She actually saw her leg go out to the side and then she fell. Anyway I am so sorry for your story (sounds like you are doing well though 👍) but that drug needs to be taken off the market!!

Now, I'm in 60' and no problem to be recovered in a day. | recommend people to enjoy daily running at comportable distance and speed. If you find that recovery isn't enough in a day, you should run at shorter distance and slower pace. Healthy food, quality sleep & weight training like knee extension can be of great help too.

I’m in my 70’s now so finding it difficult todo the running now, for one reason only, that is my knees are buggered as a result of playing football for many years, as a goalkeeper. But on the issue of duration & intensity in your running regime I adopted the interval method as used by Zatopak, ( spelling might be askew). You will achieve a fitness level & maintain it using his method that is on your runs one can run intensely over a given distance & then slow the pace over another chosen distance, the science says that the efficiency of oxygen exchange is allowed to return as you do the slower run & then you do another more intense run, it is down to the individual to work out how he applies this method, I ran regularly until I was 60, and was very fit indeed. It’s a great method, but running style is very important, there is no point in dragging along it’s not going to give you the results. And do not run on hard, paved surfaces, never you will regret it in later life. The joints don’t like it I ran on grass always even with a less than perfect knee. Best of luck.

I'm 78. I run 5 days per week, not the 6 or 7 I used to do up to age 75. I have 1 day dedicated to strength and core, and I mix in more strength when I feel like it during the week. I like to do short walks a couple of times a week and one day is given over to doing nothing but relaxing. I feel great.

Super interesting about the recovery. I'm seventy (male) now, and took a break from running end of January (sloppy wet winter here in E. Canada) Just did 4km brisk walking. When I started up running again, my pace had improved. I took another break, and back at it this week and my pace had improved again, and feeling much stronger save for this incisional hernia that keeps me from pushing doing intervals.. I ran two days in a row and my Garmin told me to not run today, or do a light run. Which I did, 3km.

Thanks for a great video. I am always confusing about the refuelling. We are told to run slow to use fat as energy source and it is almost endless. That sounds to me conflicting with the enough refuelling. Or the correct refuelling is only for those who work harder with their training?

Thank you for these brief tips. I have been listening to all the tips and guidance and the FBF guidance has helped me tremendously. I am now 54. At first I thought the mileage is less, recovery runs are just that, recovery runs! I have just completed Comrades Marathon in a time of 10h48 ( 10h51 ) I achieved my2nd Bronze medal. My first bronze was with my back2back in 2007 in a time of 10h54... how amazing is this! I have been trying to get Bronze again since then, just never could get to finish sub11. My times for my shorter distances are as fast as my times prior 2020. Thank you Coach Parry, to you and your team.

My original intent was to refute all of the statements made. Understandably I am unable to do that because I agree with all of the information presented. I'm 74 and been running and doing resistance exercise for the past 60 years and continue to remain injury free. What you could have been mentioned is the Borg Scale of rated perceived exertion. In effect, the exercise that we do as seasoned athletes should be perceived as moderately difficult, even though the numbers might have declined. The major point is that the work gets done, regardless of performance. That way the workouts continue to be enjoyable.

Ok - I'm 64 and in September 2022 I did five big hikes in six days in Switzerland. Two of the big ones were up to the top of the Niesen and Faulhorn mountains. The recommended hiking times were 5 hours for both but I got up in 3 hours 43 and 3 hours 16 respectively. Everybody is different but these hikes suited me. At the age of 59 - while taking photographs for my rugby club - I overtook the opposition winger who had outpaced our own winger so I could get a picture of him scoring a try. My training for hiking involved running up 81 steps 50 times in 1 hour 12 minutes. Happiness for me is pushing myself to the limit - and if I have a gear attack powering up a mountain - then good because passing away doing something I love would be far better than rotting away in a care home. Am I a 64 year old Superman ? Well no but I train like one. Take care and be careful - and if you do want to reach a high level - build up slowly over weeks and months.

Seeing a doctor about menopausal insomnia is a good idea. I'd been sleep-deprived for c. 2 years before seeing my doctor. He advised me to cut my carbohydrate intake by 40%, for 4 weeks; if that didn't help, we would then discuss further options. After 4 days on low-carb, my hours of sleep went from 3 hours/night to 7 hours/night! I know runners need extra carbs, but there may be a sweet spot that gets you enough carb intake and enough sleep. It works for me.

I usually run every other day but every once in a while if I’m feeling froggy I’ll do two in a row. I go through periods of feeling tired and fresh both. I usually tell myself to take it easy on runs but when my watch beeps at me telling me I’m behind pace it pisses me off so I speed up whether I’m tired or not. It’s just a mental thing. Been running 60-70 miles a month and I’ll be 50 Nov. 8. Oh and I do crunches, push-ups and I have a pull up machine that I do a few reps on nothing serious. The crunches really help my running posture. I still have a little belly too cause I’m 5’ 5” so I can’t do much about that. When I feel too tired I don’t run. I had a strained groin cause I didn’t ever stretch and as soon as I started stretching it the problem went away. That’s my story.

I'm not sure which cross section of people you are talking about but I've loved running all my life as a hobby. My work has been extremely physically for 6 days a week up until I was 50yo and Could never run as fast and as far as I can now because I'm sure it's because I only work 4 days a week. I must say working less alow me to sleep better. Now I run 9 times in 14 days and do body weight weight training and mobility. Now I'm 58 yo I tend to work shorter days as well. Although I was probably strong and had more endurance for work, I don't think I've ever felt fitted than I do now.

I'm about to turn 55, ran in the early 90's but discovered I was a "forefoot" striker and no shoes were around for that, all that really dumb heel striking was the rage IIRC. I gave it up as always picking up niggling injuries and have been cycling pretty much since(MTB then Road), and walking (occasional hillwalking). I would like to give it a go again but I'm actually pretty scared that I'll injure myself and screw up my cycling (10,000 km a year road) in the process, but I also know that aerobically and for weight loss running is hard to beat. I walk mainly to get low impact weight bearing activity in the "fat burning" sub zone 2, and know that cyclists who don't do body weight(load bearing) activity are very prone to thinning bones also.... Just don't know if I should start or just up the ante with the walking and use the hills and mountains around here for a harder workout instead. Currently my walks are 11-12km in 2hrs with 220m ascent on trails not tarmac. Got a neighbour who lives for running and he's knackered now, waiting on a keyhole surgery to remove bone growth inside his knee....
