A competitor older than 40 years showed me new interests (and anxiety) on the road, and more importantly in my career and my career. I like to run and it's good to see research on older runners … the Stanford study, which shows that running slows down aging or the Yale study that shows older runners (especially women) runners.

I want to share some insights and tips I've learned along the way. Many of these female runner tips are applicable to every runner, but they definitely make a new perspective as years continue, older, wiser, and maybe faster … :

Among these tips (see Relaxation, Nutrition, Stretching / Yoga, Massage, Weight / BMI, Orthotics and many more) help to avoid injuries or help in restoration. ] Run with Music: Playing with music can help motivate and take the necessary distraction.

The most important thing is to learn pronation and what shoes they choose, which corresponds to normal pronation, underpronation (or supination), or overpronation (or hyper-pronation).

Running Watch / GPS : In my heart I'm more a zen-runner (I would not wear a watch or count every mile … just run) but the NYC marathon changed it last year. I went out too fast and it was hard at the end. I'm wearing it again. There are giant watches and GPS devices (see NY Times article) that make it easy to calculate speed / time / distance.
