#157: You're not too old yet! Shutting out the narrative that you are past your best

There is so much of a general narrative around how you are past your best once you are in your forties and beyond. For non-elite marathoners which most of us are, I think this is simply untrue.

In this episode I look at why even some elites are still getting better into their forties and how our situation can be much more different.

I look at the progress that we can still make as recreational runners vs elites who have been at a high level for an incredibly long time and how I see people improving in their late fifties and into their sixties.

I also look at how the marathon is not simply a fitness test but a culmination of years of experience at controlling pacing, nutrition and mindset that actually means you have an edge over your younger self.
