Having finally come to terms with the fact I really am over 40 (it has taken 9 years!) I thought I better read this book and find out what I should be doing. This is a well written and well researched book, by somebody who clearly understands physiology and the other other sciences involved with running i.e not just another ex famous runner who thinks he knows everything about running! However, to be honest there were no startling revelations hidden away in this book (quite a few training schedules which I skipped through!) and I suggest that any good book on running would suit most runners' needs regardless of their age. In fact some of charts in this book were quite depressing in the way they illustrated the decline of a runner as the ageing process kicks in (no wonder I was in denial for 9 years!) Anyway, recommended but don't expect any miracle cures to leap out at you - just accept you are getting older and slower!
