Description

Fast After 50 is for every endurance athlete who wants to stay fast for years to come.


For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, and cross-country skiers, getting older doesn't have to mean getting slower. Drawing from the most current research on aging and sports performance, Joe Friel--America's leading endurance sports coach--shows how athletes can race strong and stay healthy well past age 50.


In his groundbreaking book Fast After 50, Friel offers a smart approach for athletes to ward off the effects of age. Friel shows athletes how to extend their racing careers for decades--and race to win.


Fast After 50 presents guidelines for high-intensity workouts, focused strength training, recovery, crosstraining, and nutrition for high performance:



  • How the body's response to training changes with age, how to adapt your training plan, and how to avoid overtraining

  • How to shed body fat and regain muscle density

  • How to create a progressive plan for training, rest, recovery, and competition

  • Workout guidelines, field tests, and intensity measurement


In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number--and race results are the only numbers that count.
