Hosted by runner and coach Sarah Snyder, Running After Age 40 is a conversation for those who see the decades after forty not as a slowdown but as a new chapter in their athletic life. This isn't about generic advice for twenty-somethings; it's a focused look at the unique physiology, mindset, and goals of the masters runner. Each episode tackles real questions: how to adapt training to prevent injury, the role of strength and mobility work, navigating hormonal changes, and finding sustainable motivation. You'll hear from experts in sports medicine, nutrition, and psychology, alongside candid stories from runners in their forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond who are still hitting trails, setting personal bests, and rediscovering joy in the sport. The aim is to move beyond just "shuffling" and to run with purpose and longevity. Whether you're lacing up for the first time or are a seasoned competitor adjusting your approach, this podcast provides the thoughtful, evidence-backed, and deeply relatable community you need. Tune in for honest talk that balances the science of aging with the undeniable passion that keeps us moving forward, one mile at a time.
