Reader reviews for Running Past 50

From the publisher


Many middle aged runners face a common problem: the personal challenge and inner rewards that were once powerful motives driving their running program have faded with time. What started as an invigorating ritual that refreshed the body and spirit has become too familiar and oftentimes monotonous.

Running Past 50 was written to remedy this problem and restore the fun and meaning to running. Author Rich Benyo-who is editor of Marathon & Beyond, a former executive editor of Runner's World, and a devoted runner himself-shows runners how to reinvent their running so that the years after 50 can be the best in their careers.

Through an engaging writing style and humorous anecdotes, Benyo helps runners:

- evaluate their physical condition and mental motivation,
- set new goals,
- train more effectively,
- understand good nutrition and hydration,
- avoid injuries, and
- stay motivated.

Benyo shows seasoned runners how to make adjustments to their running program so that training becomes more effective and satisfying. He discusses physical adjustments that runners can make, including increasing upper- and lower-body strength, using speed training and pacing in workouts, getting proper rest, and working walking into workouts. He also covers the all-important mental aspects of running, inspiring and encouraging runners to push past psychological barriers that hold them back.

About the author


Richard Benyo is the editor of Marathon & Beyond and race director of the Sutter Home Napa Valley Marathon. He's also a serious long-distance runner who over the past 20 years has competed in practically every type of running event imaginable-from 400-meter runs to ultramarathons. This veteran of more than 35 marathons became the first person, along with Tom Crawford, to run from Death Valley to the peak of Mount Whitney and back in midsummer-a distance of 300 miles.

Rich was the executive editor of Runner's World during the height of the running boom, from 1977 to 1984, and the fitness and running columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1985 to 1990. He is the author of Masters of the Marathon, The Exercise Fix, and Making the Marathon Your Event. A member of the Road Runners Club of America, Rich currently lives in Forestville, CA, with his wife Rhonda Provost.
