Successful Masters Running: Interview with Anthony Whiteman




RunnersConnect Run to the Top Podcast show

Summary: <br> How many of you forty year olds out there run with the teenagers and college kids, and regularly beat them? <br> On our show this week was world record holder Anthony Whiteman, who at age 40 last summer ran a 3:58 mile in Nashville, TN to win the professional track meet and become the first man to ever break 4 minutes over the age of 40 in an outdoor mile. <br> Anthony, who talked to us all the way from Britain, told us exactly how--as a 41 year old--he has continued to run at a high level his entire life. <br> <br> Here are some of the things we talked about: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Changing a training plan as one ages. <br> <br> <br> Jumping back in the game after an extended off period. <br> <br> <br> What it means to be a magpie, rather than a sponge. <br> <br> <br> What the “no running” movement really is about. <br> <br> <br> <br> As always, to check out any of the resources we might mention during the show, check out www.runnersconnect.net/rc31 <br> <br> If you’re ever going to age (which I hope all of us do!), this is a must-listen interview! Let us know what new ideas pop into your head as you listen.<br>
