Adventures in Running and Ageing

Philip Jones
4.20/5 (5 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Time is important to a runner. Whether it’s steps-per-minute, mile pace on a watch or a big digital display on a finishing gantry, it can’t be ignored. Such timings hint at another story, a hidden clock. Athletes are unusual in that their activities make decline measurable, but also - more positively - in that their exercise regimes can help them stay ahead for longer. To do so successfully, it helps if they understand what happens to the human body as it ages. Philip Jones humorously recounts his own adventures running in the UK and Europe alongside his quest to understand why running gets harder, why everybody slows down and the most effective ways to keep going. Welcome to the uphill struggle of going downhill. A must for runners who want to carry on for as long as possible.
