Aging presents unique challenges for runners, but it also offers opportunities to adapt and thrive in the sport we love. By focusing on smarter training routines that prioritize recovery, strength training, and nutrition, older runners can maintain their passion and excitement for running.

• Recognizing changes in bodies as we age
• Embracing a reduction in mileage for physical AND mental health
• Prioritizing recovery through sleep, stretching, and rest
• Strength training as a crucial element for maintaining muscle
• Managing potential discomfort through proper warm-ups and cool-downs
• Redefining success to include consistency and celebration of runs
• Adjusting nutrition for better energy and performance

Building Resilience: Why Difficult Runs May Signal a Need to Run More

Season 8 · Episode 1

Tuesday, July 2, 2024 • Duration 09:16

Get in touch with Coach Sher!

Hi Running Friend!

Today we start Season 8 talking about "bad runs" and differentiating between needing more training versus more rest. We explore why every run doesn't need to feel fantastic and how sometimes running MORE can lead to significant improvements. Yes, there are times we need an extra rest day, but that isn't always the case!

Learning to tune into our running bodies does take time, but it is important to know when we need more stimulation or more rest for the adaptations we want.

Get in touch with Coach Sher!

Hey Running Friends!

Struggling to lace up those running shoes with consistency? The internal and external barriers we may have need to be identified, and then we can come up with strategies to overcome them. For older runners, time scarcity, waning motivation, and the ever-present fatigue can hold us back.

Sometimes we don't know why we are having a hard time getting out there, and you just need someone to prompt you to figure it out. Check out the resource section for a quiz you can take which will show you what may be a barrier.

Running Respectfully When in a Cemetery

Season 7 · Episode 8

Thursday, March 7, 2024 • Duration 11:11

Get in touch with Coach Sher!

Hey Running Friends!

As I lace up my running shoes and set out on the tranquil paths of Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetery, I can't help but feel surrounded by history. It's a place where the peaceful rest of icons like Rick James and President Millard Fillmore merges with the living pulse of runners seeking solitude and reflection.

I share guidelines for runners to engage with the cemetery's beauty and tranquility responsibly, by honoring unspoken rules and the explicit ones. Doing a bit of homework ensures we safeguard the privilege of their use, keeping the paths open for our reflective runs.
