If you're not seeing improvement despite running and running, age isn't the only reason.
Based on the training of a 73-year-old who ran a full marathon in 2 hours and 54 minutes, and 10 research studies, we'll look at six common causes that middle-aged and older runners often overlook.
Check each point to see if any apply to your training 🏃

00:00 Opening
01:34 Ch.1 Running at the same "slightly tough" pace every time
03:28 Ch.2 Drastically increasing distance on good weeks
05:10 Ch.3 Taking the same number of recovery days as in your 20s
06:52 Ch.4 Running only, without strength training
08:30 Ch.5 Cutting back on sleep for training
09:57 Ch.6 Consuming the same amount of protein as when you were younger
11:40 Ch.7 Even avoiding these six things doesn't eliminate the effects of age
12:50 Ending There's more than one reason why you're not getting faster
