Once you’re over 40, my advice is simple: embrace hybrid training.
Keep running every week, no matter your mileage.
My rule of thumb is the 80/20 approach:
🏃 80% easy Zone 2 aerobic running.
🔥 20% higher-intensity work, like tempo runs, threshold intervals, or sprints.
Combine running with strength training to build endurance, maintain muscle, and stay athletic as you age.
Train smarter, not just harder. Longevity is the real goal.

@montelhardinonx Exactly! Strength without endurance is only half the equation. My goal isn’t just to lift heavy, but to run fast, move well, and stay athletic for decades to come. 💪
Most men over 40 worry about losing strength.
I’m 42, and I’m still working on building mine.
Muscle-ups, weighted pull-ups, running, and consistency.
Age matters. But so does what you do every day.
