In this episode, we hosts discuss how runners over 40 can redefine their running goals and mindset to focus on strength, endurance, and enjoyment. We challenge the narrative that aging means decline, instead advocating for an evolution in running. The conversation touches on shifting perspectives from losing weight to building muscle, the importance of strength training, the benefits of intelligent training, and the psychological impacts of changing paces. We encourage runners to focus on long-term health and resilience, redefine what progress looks like, and embrace the joy of running in their new, evolved identities.
