This you can’t sidestep by eschewing beef. The “cure” is to avoid age and, if age avoidance is the remedy, the disease is preferable. What’s this run-induced calf malady so many oldsters contract?

Fall is the season for trail running and racing. After a long and exciting summer of Triathlon training and racing it is easy to feel “burned out.” Try signing up for a trail running race and see if you can get the spark back.
I believe just about every reasonably fit male the age of 45 has the theoretical physiological capacity to run his age for a 10k, that is, a 10k in 45 minutes.
After a base of solid distance running has been established, a runner can add interval training to complete the elements needed for optimal racing fitness.
It is true that runners well below their maximum training load can increase any aspect of their training––including doing more slow and steady running––and see improved racing results.
Take care of yourself, and don’t get pushed around by anybody who sells you anything that goes on your feet.
Perhaps (I thought as I ran) it would be good to write about the technical side of running.
Every once in awhile there will be a good running coach who will have some success. This will seem like the way to do things, until the next System is discovered.
