Running Tips: Top 40 tips for women over 40 riders

Being a runner has presented over 40 new areas of interest (and disturbing) to me on the road and more importantly to my training and recovery of the road. I love running and it's great to see research on older riders … The Yale study showing that elderly marathon runners (especially women) are improving their race time than the younger runners.

I wanted to share some things I learned on the road. Many of these women is running tips can be applied to all riders, but certainly a new approach to the years when we get older and wiser, and perhaps more soon … (due to formatting restrictions, many links have been removed to see the full text with links, go to aboldpace.com)

Training Tips:

1. Add Miles: Easy! Use the 10% rule. Add increase of no more than 10% of miles each week. Here is a more detailed explanation graphics and FitSugar.

2. Warm up: As we age, the body needs time to start and give you that time will help prevent injuries. See "The Perfect warming" by Runner's World.

3.Cross Training: It is a must for any rider, but as the age of the relationship between cross-training and performance is even more important. For a different impact in the option of cross training See our recent post Aqua Jogging (or launch the Pool). Basic Exercises have become another essential element, here are some good runners in the world. Running Planet done a good job w / on "The 8 rules of strength training. We have some good videos on our Resources page.

5.Stretching/Yoga: Another need for the passage of aging (and no doubt this has been debated by many). Dara Torres showed at the Olympic effort surprised everyone. She joined a resistance strict regime of stretching (see previous post – "Making the final with Dara Torres"). I am not a great fan of yoga, but here is a good article Runners World, a broker w / ITB injury that yoga, at first, then convert. Not without my wounds FLA (Long Distance Friend ") swears by the power of yoga!

6.Rest: This has become one of the most important parts of my training. If I get enough rest, my body starts to decompose. Listen (very close) of your body.

7.Massage: Another basic Dara Torres and one from my favorite. Whether you have a wonderful husband and me, or go to a professional, working to relieve the stress of training and muscle tired. You can even do it yourself w / a few videos from Rich Poley, who wrote "self-massage for athletes.

8.Set one goal: To have a goal or training to fight for a goal that makes me stay focused.

9.Training Programs: A little planning goes a long path. If possible, try to plan your training to run more often on soft surfaces, such as trails, dirt roads, parks, grass, or even suspicion. Some good programs on our resources page. There are many good there – find one that suits you best.

10.The Council: Most programs include training for track work marathon because it helps strengthen the fast twitch muscles to increase speed and lung capacity during a race … Older does not mean getting less competitive:) If I am preparing for a marathon, what really makes the difference for me, especially in the mile after race. Good article in Runner's World called "Running in Circles.

11.Injury/Recovery: It's hard for me, as I well more … at 46, I still love to run fast. There are several injuries the most common implementation and I think we all had. See ' returning from injury, "posts. I learned to recognize the signs of my body and reverse. Many of these tips (see the rest, the system Food, stretching / yoga, massage, weight / BMI, orthopedics, and more) are to help prevent injury or help w / recovery.

12.Running with the music Running with music can help provide the motivation and the necessary distraction. I also learned the importance of BPM (beats per minute) and a guarantee that if you hear a song, do not too slowly and unconsciously, to slow the pace. Find 70s, 80's and 90's music along w / the best bands today and learn more about BPM in this message: "Execution Best Music Ever"

13.Weight/BMI: It seems fast marathoners have a low body mass index (BMI). Marathon Guide has a quick tool to calculate your BMI. Know yours can help you find the "right" BMI for the best performance in execution. See also the message: "What is the" right "of the IMC for a marathon woman? "

14.Running in different types of weather: I'm not a real movie, then I to run on anything less than snowstorm. With layers of clothing to to this is possible. However, if you're training in the summer for a fall race, Be careful with the time differences. The time during his career can be very different when you are training. Do not get discouraged if you able to Run 17 miles in the way you think you should when you are in 80-90 degree heat and high humidity.

15.Travel Film: Always bring along the shoes! Some of my best races have been one of the monuments in parks, urban landscapes and sandy beaches. Hotels (see this post which mentions WestinRun) now provide maps (and sometimes brokers) to help you. With the help of MapMyRun you can get driving directions from anywhere. Discover some of our trips running positions.

16.Running and sex: This is a coincidence Interesting Running Times article that quotes an Israeli scientist who said: "Women compete better after orgasm, especially high bridges and corridors "… Who am I to argue w / Israeli scientists?

17. Fartlek Training: Sports Fitness Advisor has some good advice on way into their fartlek training (psst. .. if you do not know what is fartlek, see 10Ktruth.com 's "Runnerspeak – Dictionary of slang and other race conditions Sport ").

Tips on nutrition and hydration:

18. Type of food: Joining a well-balanced diet, diet low in fat is higher in carbohydrates was always an integral the best way for me. I love a good smoothie (see post "Smoothie Operator – faster training nutritious meal) during training. Here is an article interesting w / good advice on diet "Cool Running" The diet of the corridor. "

19.Hydration: I used to be all water and Gatorade for me, but now that I'm older, I do not want the same amount of calories. I selected solutions Replacement lower in calories as the powder mixture of electrolytes (see the message: "Saving Water: hydration and options Recovery card corridors ").

20. Eating after running: Window to eat after you run is small, but important. See the post "refuel" Act "after a race

Gear tips:

21. Running Clothing / Bra: I like running sportswear – not funky, but clearly personal preference. support to make a good go a long way … Avoid cotton at any price. I learned that running skirts are the most polarizing of all clothing. However, if you like to wear a skirt, see the series running Skirtchaser … looks like fun!

22. Running Shoes / Socks: Running shoes are so personal the only way to find a pair goes into a store to run and try them until finding one that feels comfortable. There are tons of guides for shoes for different types of feet that are useful in reducing everything down. Learn about pronation and choosing a shoe that fits if you have normal pronation (supination or underpronation) or pronation (or hyper-pronation) is the key. Runner's World has a good article, with video of pronation. I changed my shoes once. I rotate three pairs of marathon training (which was formerly two, but problems with my feet, now three). Here's Runner's World "Spring 2009 Running Shoe Guide. The Asics Gel Kayano 15 is the" Editor's Choice "winners" and also the shoes I wear. Some other quick tips:

Measure your feet as you age, size of feet in May gradually change. Insurance salesman to measure your foot position standing

Buy later in the day as the day progresses, you get slightly bigger feet.

Bracing and socks: Wear socks and straps used to carry the store when it comes to shoes. Find "dry" type fuses instead of cotton socks.

Check wear: Most shoes resulting in 300 500 miles up. Keep track of miles (see No. 24 – Running Log). Replacement of shoes can prevent injury unnecessary. Check wear on soles and inside of the boot too. Once you find the shoe that works for you, you may be able to find shoes back online in places such as securities dealers (a fat rhythm readers get 15% off) Overstock or Holabird Sports.

Break in shoes: Do not use a new shoe for a marathon, make sure you've had time to break in. However, when purchasing a new shoe should feel good when you try on.

Thumb-width: having a width inch between the end of your longest toe and the end of the shoe. took a 1 / 2 larger to make sure I have the box off.

Consult a physician: If you have a persistent problem with his feet, get advice from a medical professional. Believe me, hoping to heal a foot can be painful. Do not take more time waiting for help.

Here is a great video from Howcast which covers many of these tips: "How to Choose a Running Shoe"

23. Bracing: I overpronate and could not live without them. If you have problems with the foot (plantar fasciitis, heal spurs or overpronation underpronation significant, etc.), I recommend to see sports orthopedic doc to see only his new friends:)

24.Running news: Memory is not one of my best assets, so keeping records save my tracks Training: Weekly mileage, meals, shopping for shoes (so I know when to retire shoes), routes Preferred / tracks, etc.

25. Running Watch / GPS: Basically, I am a broker zen (rather not use a clock or calculate the speed of each mile … just run), but the New York Marathon was changed last year for me. I went very quickly and had difficult to finish. Now a new use. There are large and GPS clocks (see NY Times article) that make it easy to calculate the rate / time / distance. Another option is to use a marathon "Pacers" in a race … By Clif Bar Marathon Pace Team information.

26. Running Bag: See "What's in your shopping bag? 10 essential elements for advancing your career path "

27. RUB: avoid blisters, Bodyglide use petroleum jelly or Asics new Chafe free. Apply everywhere … rubbing feet, teats, etc. For more information about Asics, see "The purpose of performing brush? "

28. iPod: The must have for runners (even if you need to ask to borrow his son). I understand why many runners do not like to use during the races, but if you love music, it can be a great way to relax and go forward (iPods are now permitted in certain breeds, see the post "music to my ears"). Be sure to choose the songs Work W / Pace / BPM.

29. Play on the implementation: There are so many fabulous books out there in the transaction that are fun to read. They can motivate and excite us. We are rare in our Amazon shop.

Racing Tips:

30.Finding race: Marathon or guide can help you Racevine to find a marathon and other shorter races. These sites not only the shopping list, is eligible.

31. Charity Racing: million dollars year are raised by runners for charity. You can make the race more sense if you have someone to run per km. Support a good cause may also be a path in a quarry exhausted.

PaceTat is rugged, lightweight (in fact, not weight), and discreet way to keep track of your pace while running. They are simply transfers that are applied before the race and said his goals by dividing the words of miles Significant gaps. brilliant idea, and only $ 2.00 – $ 2.99 per transfer.

34.Speed in 40/Beating their RA: There have been many articles about how women are older women are becoming faster and stay there (see the article on ABC News survey of Yale University). As they gain experience, riders who are more effective. We know that to run the tangents, and prepare as many suggestions we have listed here. We also have more time to form as our children grow.

35.Qualifying for Boston / The Times Boston: Boston is a tough race. It is an honor to run. This is not a step miss if you qualify. See some of our positions on the Boston Marathon. Departure Times Boston Marathon qualification.

36. Columbus Day's Survival Kit: You do not want last-minute surprises on race day. Having a career day kit can help you find out they are ready and stay focused on race. Assuming that you already use your clothes, shoes, your watch, etc. .. there are still some items that you need. There are two options … Use control in the bag, where they wait in line for a ticket to claim or use a "disposable bag, just the essentials and can be launched. Here are checklists for both:
