Age Is Just A Number
The old saying that "age is just a number" is true, but as an aging runner, it's time to tweak your training plan to prevent injury. When I started my running journey six years ago, I basically laced up my shoes and hit the pavement, no before or after stretching, but I was consistently following my strength training routines, and hot yoga classes. Up until about two years ago, this worked, but now, at age 49, I'm experiencing a few more aches and pains. It's not time to hang up my running shoes, but after doing a little research, I found that there are a few things that I need to do.
My age is increasing but my love for running isn’t decreasing and with these new additions to my routine I will be running more miles for years to come.
