Distance running is by no means just a young persons game .By fine-tuning your diet and training you can extend your running career and improve your running performances
Stretching.
as we get older our muscles get less supple, lose their resilience and tighten after running.
regular stretching will help to combat this.
Rest days.
as we get older we need more rest and recovery especially after long runs and speed sessions.
Strength work.
as we age our muscles lose strength but we can combat this by doing strength and conditioning work.
Go off road.
when ever possible run on grass or trials to allow the body recover from the pounding of the road
your joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments will love you for it.
Avoid injury.
by having sports massage once a month you will help avoid injury caused by tight muscles.
Enjoy your running.
