Have you ever felt frustrated trying to start running after age 40 or keep up competitive running in your 40s, 50s, and beyond? How can masters runners keep running and not 'shuffling' as they get older? Are there benefits to running in your 40s and over?

Listened for the first time today. You were having a conversation with a woman from England talking about how one evolves as a runner and as an athlete as you age. Really enjoyed the conversation. I’m almost 55 and have dealt with a few injuries but I always find positivity in my recovery and reinvent myself as an athlete and recalibrate my goals and expectations. Looking forward to listening to your other episodes. Keep up the great work!
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Each episode is full of information useful even beyond running! Sarah is a very thoughtful and creative host!!! Love it!!
I have listened more than once to every episode. I’m always happy to listen to a new one! At 61, I love your encouragement and, your attitude - your authentic take on running. Please! Keep it up! And thank you!
I’ve been listening for a couple months now and look forward to every new episode. She talks about things other running podcasts don’t really get into. I’ve been running for about 20 years and don’t feel I need much advice anymore about *how* to train. I’ve got my system down. This show talks about all the little things that happen when you become a masters runner. Things that happen in your thoughts, such as losing focus on the Why, what your goals can be when you’re no longer strictly competitive in your racing, how to keep loving the sport when speed and distance PRs aren’t realistically coming anymore, really thinking about how your nutrition may be effecting your training as you get older, thinking about life stressors having and effect on your training, controlling the controlables and letting go of the rest, etc. Each episode there’s something interesting for me to ponder, and ideas for things to try that I’ve never heard or thought of before, such as recently: mantras that begin with “I will become ___” and then you can have a process oriented word like gritty or brave or strong, instead of setting yourself up for disappointment after disappointment because you aren’t hitting every time goal you set. I’m going to try that in the second half of my next long run. Thanks so much for getting into topics that aren’t addressed by outcome oriented shows.
