POPULARITY
In a world obsessed with youth in sports, there's a quiet revolution happening among athletes in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. These masters of endurance aren't just participating – they're demolishing expectations and rewriting the rules of athletic performance. It’s fantastic to see, and gives me hope for my future as an ageing athlete. That makes me sound old when in reality, I’m only just reaching my 40th year. I still feel like I can train in a similar way to what I did in my 20s - going hard with limited recovery. Though, perhaps that isn’t the smartest way to train as I age. When I recently sat down with Joe Friel, the author behind 'Fast After 50', he revealed insights so powerful they're transforming how we think about aging in endurance sports. What he shared isn't just another training theory – it's a blueprint for athletic longevity that's backed by decades of coaching elite masters athletes. What follows isn't just advice – it's a complete shift in how we approach athletic performance after 40. It has made me rethink my entire approach to training and actually highlights how much rest plays a role. I especially like the sound of that, with three young children I’m currently running around after. More rest sounds very good to me. While anticipation builds for Joe's updated "Fast After 50," the principles in his current work remain foundational. The key insight isn't just about training adaptation – it's about embracing the sophisticated interplay between experience, wisdom, and physical capability that defines masters athletes. Joe made it clear through our conversation that your age isn't merely a number – it's a competitive advantage. As an older athlete you already have not just the wisdom to train intelligently, but the experience to execute with precision. The future for you as a masters athlete isn't about defying age – it's about defining it on your own terms and training for the life you want to live.

Originally from Scotland, Morag McDonah is a 66 year old Nova Scotian runner who currently holds the Canadian W65 marathon record of 3:21:38. With an impressive time like this you might assume she's been competing since grade school, but nothing could be further from the truth. Morag was in her late 40s when she took up running and it was purely for recreation. She was never going to go further than 5K and she was definitely not going to race. But as most runners can attest, once she caught the bug one thing kept leading to another. She started off on the roads but in recent years Morag has also been lighting things up on the track and the trails and is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.In this episode, we talk about:The influence her daughter (Ailsa MacDonald) has had on her running careerWhat it was like to share the podium in Boston with Olympian Joan Benoit SamuelsonGetting hypothermia and dropping out of Boston in 2018The unconventional way she approaches marathon trainingWhy she doesn't race with a GPS watchThe important lesson in pacing she learned the hard way in a track mileInjuries, grief, and so much more!As you'll hear in this conversation, Morag is a breath of fresh air and we have to imagine that part of her success is due to the wonderful energy she shows up with.

She has starred in a Nike ad, she has inspired thousands of people and really demonstrated what you can achieve no matter your age.

The 5 days a week might seem boring, but they are not wasting your time. And the 2 days a week you should be dreading as they are so hard.' 58:00 We talk about the importance of recovery 'you just don't bounce back like you used to as you get older' 1:01:00 Why strength training is absolutely key as you get older 1:03:30 How you can get your head around the mental challenge of slowing down.

Dr. Wayne Crowe has been practicing medicine in the Comox Valley since 1983 and transitioned to semi-retirement in 2018. He strongly believes in food and movement as medicine, and was a pioneer in his field in prescribing exercise and lifestyle modifications before medication whenever possible. Always an active person, Wayne didn’t start seriously running until age 49, which makes his 2:49:58 marathon PB that much more impressive. There is no doubt Wayne is committed to his physical fitness, but as you’ll hear in this conversation he is equally dedicated to his mental fitness. He brings a refreshingly positive attitude to everything he does, including rehabbing from injuries and dealing with all that was 2020. Wayne is actively involved in his running community as a race director, current board member, and past president of the CVRR. He is a lifelong student who loves to learn and share what he’s learned with others, which is why we’re so excited to be sharing him with you today. This episode is jam-packed with actionable truth bombs, and if you listen right to the very end you’ll hear him tell a fairly embarrassing story about Carolyn that she promised wouldn’t land on the cutting room floor. Please enjoy our conversation with Dr. Wayne Crowe.

In this episode of the podcast, Christopher Kelly interviews Joe about a wide variety of topics. It’s a rare glimpse inside the mind of a pioneering coach that you’ll enjoy. Curiosity drives Joe Friel to seek answers for athletes. Joe Friel is a man driven by curiosity. His blog contains thousands of articles he’s written over the years, chronicling his studies of diet, exercise, and everything related to training and performance. He wants to know why things happen the way they do and how to use that knowledge to make improvements in health and performance. That curiosity is what has made him into a world-class coach, and he’s willing to share it with anyone who cares to listen. In this conversation, Christopher dives deep into that knowledge to find some gems. Fast After 50: An instruction manual for masters athletes. In 1998, Joe wrote the book Cycling Past 50. Turning 70 prompted him to revisit the science, and he started writing up his latest findings on the blog. The feedback from that series of posts was overwhelmingly positive, and so Joe was prompted to start work on Fast After 50. The book is well-referenced, accessible and prescriptive. Good coaches bridge the gap between science and experience. “If you don't look good, we don't look good” - Vidal Sassoon. Coaches make recommendations that work, even if they’re not backed up by science. Often, the science is playing catch up. For example, coaches knew that the Fosbury Flop and aerobars worked long before there was science to show why. That’s why it pays to know someone like Joe! Strength training is an incredibly important part of the mix for older athletes. That’s because as we age, we naturally begin to decline in muscle mass and therefore, strength. The right kind of strength training, varied through the year will enable older athletes to maintain their ability to compete at a high level and preserve their health at the same time. Joe Friel recommends working the larger muscle groups during the off season on a regular basis, as much as 3 times per week. Then, during competitive seasons, cutting back on the degree of weight training, but not stopping altogether. When followed, this practice helps older athletes maintain their strength, which impacts endurance and performance. Get the details to Joe’s thoughts about strength training on this episode. Here’s the outline of this interview with Joel Friel: [0:05] Welcome and introduction of Joe Friel - coach and author. [1:40] How Joe met the co-author of his book, The Paleo Diet for Athletes, Loren Cordain, and how he started practicing a Paleo lifestyle in the first place. [3:22] How the book “Fast After 50” impacted Christopher differently each time he read it. [4:28] What was it about Joe’s 70th birthday that inspired him to write this book? [6:33] How does Joe reconcile a situation when as a coach he knows something works, but there isn’t scientific evidence to prove it? [8:06] The differences between athletes and “normal” people and why many studies don’t apply across the board because of those differences. [12:02] Why decreased aerobic capacity declines as an athlete ages, and what they can do to prevent it being as severe. [15:46] How Joe came to the conclusion that most aging athletes are defaulting to training over long, slow distances. [17:22] How does Joe reconcile his beliefs on these issues with the research recently shown by Dr. Phil Maffetone. [20:13] Why do aging athletes begin keeping larger stores of fat? [22:05] Joe’s insights on how the accumulation of stress plays into these issues as well as how genetics impacts it. [24:51] Has the Paleo diet been helpful for his clients in keeping body fat off? [26:16] A 10% carbohydrate intake along with 60% fat: Joe’s personal diet ratios. [27:43] Why Joe doesn’t think a low carb diet will cause problems with high intensity workouts for aging athletes. [31:30] Carbohydrate loading before events: Joe’s opinion about the practice. [35:50] Why do older athletes lose muscle mass? What can be done to counteract it? [38:54] Strength training tips for older athletes. [40:43] Strength training suggestions for high performance athletes. [42:40] Joe’s response to the recent press coverage raising questions about the safety of endurance events. [45:41] How lifestyle issues figure into the safety of endurance athletes. [47:25] Joe’s thoughts about people who could be taking advantage of his knowledge and resources through coaching, etc. [49:15] Joe’s current coaching company and his role training coaches. [50:29] Resources Joe recommends.

Joe Friel Joe Friel recently released his 14th book, Fast After 50. It's geared to all athletes training and competing after age 50. Most, but not all, of the interview is centered around the book, but there is much in here that will apply to all triathletes. Topics discussed include sleep, high intensity training, recovery, and items listed below. Joe also gives some insight into his research process. Joe discusses three key factors in athletic success: aerobic capacity lactate threshold economy As athletes age, economy tends to remain stable, VO2 max suffers the greatest loss, and lactate threshold declines more slowly. Maintaining or slowing the rate of decline in these areas should be a focus of training. Joe talks about three key factors that negatively affect aging athletes. They are: Loss of aerobic capacity/VO2 max Loss of muscle mass Negative trend in body fat percentage Part of the performance loss of the aging athlete is a result of a reduction of high intensity training. This leads to a decline in aerobic capacity. Joe talks about the importance of keeping this in, or safely adding it back into, your training regime. Joe generally defines high intensity as a 9 effort level on a scale of 1-10. It must be added very slowly into a training plan to reduce the risk of injury, starting with short 15 second efforts and gradually increasing the dose. For a more detailed recommendation refer to Joe's book. I asked for a specific example using high intensity training for a 55 year old triathlete training for an Ironman. With a consistent and well planned training schedule, this athlete would include high intensity training throughout the plan, with a peak dose in the Base 3 period. This would be 12-16 weeks before the race. After that it would be reduced to a maintenance level. More From Joe? I asked Joe about future projects, and he just started work on a new book that is slated to be completed in 2016. The project is being kept under wraps, but he said "It'll be my major work of my career as far as writing books." Bigger than The Triathlete's Training Bible? "Yeah."
