Overview
A revolution is happening in endurance sports. Athletes over age 50 are breaking records left and right by performing at levels that were unimaginable 10 years ago. They're improving faster than any other age category, closing the performance gap on the newer generation. Despite this, there is still a lack of resources and support for older athletes, also known as masters. Whether you're a weekend warrior, looking to run your first race, or a seasoned pro, there’s no end date to achieving your best.
Respected endurance expert Matt Fitzgerald is here to show you how. With Faster Masters, you will learn how to maximize performance after age 50, including science-based practices on pacing, recovery, diet, mindset, and more, as well as new methods of strength training that will keep your body and mind young.
Matt shares his own inspiring story of recovering from Long Covid, which forced him to quit running for three and a half years and left him bedridden for months. From being unable to walk a mile, he made a miraculous comeback, running 62 miles and finishing a 100-kilometer ultramarathon first in his age group. In Faster Masters, Matt draws on his experience as well as those of other record-breaking over-35 athletes and Olympians to develop real-world best practices for runners and other endurance athletes of all levels and abilities.
Don’t listen to the outdated, negative narrative of aging, that you must make the most of a “declining body.” Faster Masters will show you the benefits and opportunities unique to growing older as an athlete (whatever your starting point), and the exciting ways to take advantage of them.
