Great video with excellent insights. I’m 69 yrs old and an endurance athlete since my early twenties. Until eight years ago, I did marathons including two Boston finishes. I’m also a triathlete with one 140.6 finish. Also went through a prostate cancer journey 13 years ago. I cut full marathons out starting eight years due to my achilles. I’ve had three achilles surgeries and now have six anchors in my right one. For that, I’ve confined my running to half marathons or shorter. I got motivated to return to a full marathon back in June to run with my son for his first marathon and it will be my 22nd finish. I’ve had to leverage the points you shared in this video. The big thing I added for the first time is strength training with a coach. You are spot on regarding ego. For so long, my running was about pure speed as my personal best is a 3hr 4 min marathon. Now it’s about focusing on the finish and being comfortable in doing so. My son has called me out during my training for running too intensely. He was right. That being said, I believe I can pace myself to a 9:30/mile effort. If not, the finish line will still be there. Thx

I love the innovative approach to training in 2025. As someone over 50, it's great to see new methods that cater to our specific needs. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!"

great video, thanks. Yes, I definitely do much better if I add in walk breaks to my daily runs. Sometimes I forget to set my watch for walk breaks, and I really feel it at night if I skip the breaks.

I've been incorporating walk breaks into training and races for over 20 years. The creation of the run walk method is attributed to Jeff Galloway, who created the program in 1974. Forgetting my pride and using walk breaks to keep me heart rate within Zone 2 while training has been a challenging.

Excellent video Parry. Full of pertinent content for the older runner. I love being part of the faster past 50 community.

The walk breaks make an enormous difference in the amount I can run.

Lindsey, good advice - maybe add hydration hydration hydration to your "Ways" List.

A great video - I think with regards to nutrition the caveat is to only refuel what you have spend. I've seen quite a few older athletes putting on weight thinking they need to take in 300 kcal worth of carbs and protein after a run where actually because they were very low in Zone 2 and used maybe only 200 kcal. So where I agree with everything you said - very applicable to the average 50y+ athlete - I think you need to adjust some of these to your own workout or run regime and objectives.

Nice video and good synthesis. Could you put your scientific references with your videos please? Great job.

After 50?
I guess I was very fortunate, because I rarely ever experienced injuries (or pain) until I was about 65.
I trained/ran hard from my late teens right through to that age without any major injuries or downtime.

(except for 5x rib-breaks associated with road or pavement rut falls...and yes, those were indeed very painful)

This all changed for me, the past 3 years...when I suddenly developed meniscus knee problems...
After all that training, my knees are probably operating bone on bone and completely worn out.

(where is that new Israeli meniscus replacement surgery when I need it)

The pain is intermittent, and I can mostly train through it....but it never fully heals properly.
A few months later, it will flare up, again.

I do 75 Klms per week...until, that happens.
Power walking (as a substitute) does help the process.

Galloway run/walk method has been around forever.

Q. Would I want to take in carbs during exercise if I am wanting fat loss from my aerobic running? Even though it would minimise muscle glycogen usage, what would your advice be, if I am looking to my easy runs not only for running benefits but also wanting the fat loss effect as a bonus?

There is no need for intro music if you are talking.

You had me until you began talking about walk breaks.
