@doughnutrunner @AllanMccubbin Have you been able to test run these recommendations and if so do you notice a difference?

Simple…. but not easy

An interesting attempt to model optimal running strategy:

"the most effective way to run a race is to run approximately the same pace the entire race without letting one's energies hit zero, by consuming in-race nutrition"

I want to know these stories too

Since I’m on a rant about this, here’s my non imaginative list!

[Jason Montfort @JasonMontfort]

“as we age there are sessions that break us down & risk injury”

Something that’s taken me too long to acknowledge

[Gordo Byrn @feelthebyrn1]

Aging Athlete Strategy

One of @eperjon questions at dinner was my experience with coaching speedy SuperVets

The key lesson: as we age there are sessions that break us down & risk injury

✅ Notice these sessions and remove them

✅ Pause and consider how to get a similar physiological stimulus, differently

The example I used in my article about Ron Ottaway was fast running

Ron and I noticed speed work would break him down and risk injury

In Ron's case we made a decision to use the bike for high intensity sessions as these were well tolerated

The older we get, the more powerful "just keep training" becomes - this is because everyone is dealing with biomechanical issues & life limiters

Champion SuperVets know consistency drives gains

Something I’ve done over the last 20+ years because it feels right. Now a little science suggests it may work

[Daniel Rowland @dwrowland]

Interrupting explosive strength training for 4 weeks after concurrent training doesn't impact running performance gains:

"short-term explosive strength training cessation might be beneficial and could be considered as a taper strategy"
