Getting back into running in your 40’s

Did life get busy with your career, children and other priorities?

Did you get swept up in life?

Do you now find yourself looking to hit the tracks again?

As you stand at the threshold of your 40s or beyond, you find yourself yearning to rekindle that flame, to get back into the swing of running.

You’re not alone in this journey, and it’s truly great that you’re considering making time for yourself again because you absolutely deserve it!

But here’s the thing – as eager as your mind may be, your body has undergone changes over the years.

It’s a natural part of the ageing process, and accepting that fact is the first step towards your running revival.

Heres the thing..

Your mind is going to be willing but your body has changed, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles!

A running assessment is a great way in setting yourself up for success when you’re starting to run again.

its a full analysis of where your body is at, where your weak spots are, where are your areas to work on.. Carried out by a qualified professional that can give clarity and a clear path forward.

It’s really important to assess how strong your body is, where your hip, knee, ankle strength is at in conjunction with the goals you’re looking to achieve.

Whether that be 5km, 10km, half marathon or a marathon!

It’s essential to build up gradually, go from a wall/run plan to a consistent running plan and then add quality in after about 3 months of consistent work.

The most important tip I have is to have fun! Running is a stress & tension releasing exercise for many, enjoy your run, enjoy the space that surrounds you and breathe in the beautiful fresh air!
