Fast After 50

By Joe Friel

Faster, Stronger, Leaner—at any age! Fast After 50 is for every endurance athlete who wants to stay fast for years to come.
 

For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, rowers, and skiers, getting older doesn’t have to mean getting slower. Drawing from the most current research on aging and sports performance, Joe Friel—America’s leading endurance sports coach—shows how athletes can race strong and stay healthy well past age 50.
 

In his groundbreaking book Fast After 50, Friel offers a smart approach for athletes to ward off the effects of age. Friel shows athletes how to extend their racing careers for decades—and race to win.
 

Fast After 50 offers guidelines for high-intensity workouts, focused strength training, recovery, crosstraining, and nutrition for high performance. Friel tackles such topics as:

  • What the science says about the senior athlete’s performance, training, and lifestyle
  • How the body’s response to training changes with age, how to adapt your training plan, and how to avoid overtraining
  • How to shed body fat and regain muscle density
  • The importance of strength training and aerobic capacity as we age
  • How to create a progressive plan for training, rest, recovery, and competition
  • Workout guidelines, field tests, and intensity measurement to ensure the right exercise regimen for you

In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number—and race results are the only numbers that count.
