    Jan 30 2025
    Want to know the secret to maintaining your running speed and endurance even as you age? You may be wondering…Can you STILL run like you’re 20 even at 40? Why older runners can get faster is what we’re talking about in this episode! This was such a fun and informative conversation with my friend Carolyn Coffin who is a fellow running coach, podcaster, and physiotherapist. We're sharing our top age-defying running tips that will have you feeling energetic, strong, and motivated to hit the pavement in your 40’s, 50’s, and beyond! We know the stereotypes out there with age and running… ”You shouldn’t be running anymore”... “running is bad for your knees”...“Your too old to run marathons anymore” The real challenge is understanding how you can get faster at any age. We will explore factors contributing to older runners' speed, such as experience, training techniques, mental resilience all while sharing real life stories. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, these tips will help you defy your age and reach your running goals. So, let's get started and take your running to the next level! We answer these common questions and so much more: - Does running keep you healthy as you age - Does age affect how fast you can run - What is the age graded score for running - Can you run faster after 40 - How to improve sprint speed over 40 - Misconception about getting faster as we age There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long!

    [Download] The Ultimate Runner’s Knee Guide to Pain Free Running Knee pain while running? Here’s what you need to know about runner’s knee or patellofemoral pain syndrome. No running is not bad for your knees and no you don’t need to stop running with knee pain. In fact, regular running strengthens the joints and actually protects against development of knee arthritis later in life.

In today’s training, we’re uncovering the truth about Patellofemoral Pain Syndrom…what it is, why it happens, and how you can get back to running pain-free.

    259. Why Marathon Training STARTS NOW with Coach Carolyn Coffin
    Jan 16 2025

    [Download] The Ultimate Marathon Training Guide

    How early should you start training for a marathon?...How about now!?

    I had the opportunity to talk with the amazing Carolyn Coffin on the Inspired Soles Podcast on what we can do as runners when we are not officially "marathon training".

    Carolyn Coffin is not only a friend of the show (episodes 108, 160, 200, 213) but she has a 3:21 marathon PB and recently ran a 3:24 in Chicago this past fall 9 years later!

    In this episode, we discuss the importance of year-round training for marathon success and why Marathon Training technically starts way before your 16 or 20 week training cycle.

    So if you are feeling a bit in a rut after the holidays and during the colder winter months but you still have big marathon goals in 2025 (like I do) then this is the episode for you!

    We dive deep into mindset, strength training, and following a properly structured run plan so that you’re not starting back at square one when you decide to officially begin your next training cycle.
