    About this Episode

    “As runners age, all sorts of things age. Our cardio vascular system, our feet, our mobility, but for some reason, in uphill running, the aging curve is different.”

    Richard Larsen is a 72-year-old mountain runner who specializes in running uphill. In this episode, Richard chats with Luis about starting a running club, mountain running, 5ks, advice for older folks looking to remain injury free, and short stride length.
