FORDY RUNS Podcast

Can you actually get faster at running as you get older? Or does turning 40 mean your fastest running days are behind you? In this episode of the FORDY RUNS Running Podcast, we're talking all about running after 40, whether age really does slow us down and why so many runners are actually setting personal bests in their 40s, 50s and beyond.

We discuss how training changes as we get older, the importance of recovery, strength training, consistency and whether experience can make up for what we might lose in outright speed. Is it possible to keep improving your marathon and half marathon times as you age? Should older runners train differently? And when does age really start to affect running performance? Whether you're chasing a new PB, getting into running later in life or simply trying to stay fit and healthy, this episode is for you. 💬
