Run Training Plans For Over 50 Year Olds
Taren's MōTTIV Method Podcast - A podcast by Taren Gesell

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?
