Summary

I’m talking about something every runner who stays in the sport long enough will face: aging. Not as something to cope with, but as the next challenge to meet. I share six ways to think about aging that have helped me and my clients approach this phase with more clarity, intention, and confidence. Because aging doesn’t remove you from ultra running. It asks something different of you. And when you approach it as something to master, not manage, this phase can become one of the most meaningful and rewarding parts of your time in the sport.
