What if you could get faster, stronger, and more mentally sharp despite turning the corner beyond age 40?  It is actually possible.

Now, if you started running in your teens or in your twenties, you are not going to be able to race or train at the same intensity or paces as you did back then.  But just because your times aren’t going to be the same doesn’t mean that you can’t run your very best and have the same sense of pride and accomplishment as you did when you were younger.

In fact, you might even find more satisfaction in your running as a master.

Coach Claire's guest will tell you how.

Cathy Utzshcneider is an accomplished athlete and coach who did not even start her running journey until age 40.  In the years since, Cathy has won nine USA Track and Field national age group championships, a silver medal at the Nike World Masters Games, and a gold medal at the North American World Regional Championships. She was ranked No. 5 in the world in her age-group in the mile in 2005. 

She is a lead faculty member of coaching and high performance at Boston College and is the author of three books on master’s running. Her coaching practice has produced eight Olympic trial marathon qualifiers, six world age-group records, 10 American age-group records, and 67 USA Track & Field (USATF) age-group champions.

How to Stay Running For Life:  Special Collaborative Episode!

 

This week’s guests are a little different from our usual guests such as Olympian Jared Wade or top race director Dave McGillivray of the Boston Marathon or yoga instructor Adina Crawford to name a few. The athletes in this podcast aren’t household names but still impact lots of runners. They’re founders of some of the top Facebook running groups around the world and they have agreed to collaborate on this special episode.

 

Facebook is a great platform for runners around the world to interact, share advice, and build virtual communities, which is especially important during these times. Coach Claire joined several of these Facebook running groups to try to find out what members were discussing and what questions the runners had. 

 

For this episode, Coach Claire decided to focus on advice for how to keep running for as long as possible, and so asked each of the guests the same question: What do you include in your running routine that will help ensure you are running for life?

 

The responses were great. Each guest had something a little bit different to say, and all of it is good advice that will hopefully help keep you running and motivated for life. So get ready for six guests, one question, various accents, and some great answers coupled with Coach Claire’s expert commentary! 

Question All Guests Are Asked:

 

What do you include in your running routine that will help ensure you are running for life?

Guests:

 

06:06  Karen Guttridge, Running Like A Wrinkly

 

08:30  Andy Jones-Wilkins, East Coast Trail and UltraRunners
