396: The #1 Mindset Shift That Will Transform Your Running After 40

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.00:55 Mindset Shift: Aging as a Blessing11:36 Adapting Training for Longevity22:48 Shifting Focus: From Speed to Strength23:42 Training for Health and Longevity25:25 The Importance of Strength Training27:18 Redefining Progress and Success30:32 Balancing Running with Life33:33 Embracing a New Running IdentityGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.
