Getting out the door is not always and easy task. But we runners are a addictive breed that thrive off the benefits and the positives become even more apparent as we age.
The purpose of this website The Senior Runner is to have shared experiences which will range to the actual runs to health and diet and life style. I do not know many senior runners that do not excel in most areas in life. It is the whole ball of wax deal. If you have the discipline to run everyday there is a cross over into other sec's of life.
What will be opened up in a forum/blog concept will compare Morning to afternoon to evening running to long distance verse middle distance to a shorter training program. Racing verses non competitive running to the track verses the road. These are just a few areas to discuss as i am getting your juices flowing.
You by no means have to be a senior runner to enjoy this site. There is a need to vent as seniors to the specific enjoyments and problems us seniors have. Should we weight train and do push ups or only run? How much is enough or too little in regards to time or mileage. I have not missed a day in over three years and often run twice a day. So is that good,well it works for me with my mental stress of running a large company.
So enjoy and contribute and hope to get to know many Lady and Gent runners around the world and share my senior experiences.
I love morning runs because of the obvious. If a weekday, i am wide a wake after a early morning run.
A couple cups of coffee and the run and i am alive and chipper and relaxed, you know the story. On weekends for me it might negate my previous nights over indulgences in celebration of down time.
I do not like to run on tracks unless traffic is a problem like where i live in Baguio in the Philippine Islands.
My street actual measures 3 blocks so back and forth is a half mile and serves me well for 3am runs which i do frequently based upon my profession of working late hours.
