What if you could get faster, stronger, and more mentally sharp despite turning the corner beyond age 40? It is actually possible. Now, if you started running in your teens or in your twenties, you are not going to be able to race or train at the same intensity or paces as you did back then. But just because your times aren’t going to be the same doesn’t mean that you can’t run your very best and have the same sense of pride and accomplishment as you did when you were younger. In fact, you might even find more satisfaction in your running as a master. Coach Claire's guest will tell you how. Cathy Utzshcneider is an accomplished athlete and coach who did not even start her running journey until age 40. In the years since, Cathy has won nine USA Track and Field national age group championships, a silver medal at the Nike World Masters Games, and a gold medal at the North American World Regional Championships. She was ranked No. 5 in the world in her age-group in the mile in 2005. She is a lead faculty member of coaching and high performance at Boston College and is the author of three books on master’s running. Her coaching practice has produced eight Olympic trial marathon qualifiers, six world age-group records, 10 American age-group records, and 67 USA Track & Field (USATF) age-group champions.
