What are the main considerations for someone who is over 50 when starting a run training plan?  On this week's podcast, Taren and Jamie discuss everything there is to know about running over 50, including:

  • How does a run training plan for someone who is over 50 differ from a training plan for a younger person?
  • Should injury prevention be a bigger consideration if you are over 50?
  • What happens to the body as it gets older as it relates to the gains in aerobic capacity and speed? Is there a limit or is capacity reduced?
  • Is it possible to achieve fitness levels that you may have seen in your younger years, achieve the same times and maybe even beat them?
  • Will it take longer for someone who is over 50 to build to running certain distances than a younger person?
  • How much should strength training be a part of a run training plan for someone who is over 50?
  • What else can over 50s to do prevent injuries in their training eg taking supplements?
  • Should run training plans integrate more cross training/non weight baring/non impact aerobic training eg swimming or cycling to reduce risk of injury?
