As an 18-year-old, I've got a lot of respect for seniors who are still crushing their running goals. I'm curious to know, how do you modify your training to accommodate physical changes that come with age? Do you focus on low-impact cross-training, or have you found ways to adapt your running routine to avoid injuries? Share your wisdom, seniors!
I'm not a senior yet, but I've learned from my older running buddies that it's all about listening to your body. They've told me to focus on consistency over intensity, and to prioritize recovery over pushing limits. It's not about being as fast as you used to be, but about finding a sustainable rhythm that works for you.
Great advice! I'm in my 30s, but I've already had to adapt my training to avoid injuries. I've found that incorporating strength training and stretching has helped me maintain my endurance. It's all about finding that balance between pushing yourself and being kind to your body.
I'm not a senior, but I've seen my dad, who's 55, modify his training by incorporating more walk breaks into his runs. He's also switched to shorter distances and focuses on frequency over speed. It's all about finding what works for you and being smart about it. I'm sure there's a lot more to learn from seniors out there!
