For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, and cross-country 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 with 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 presents guidelines for high-intensity workouts, focused strength training, recovery, crosstraining, and nutrition for high performance: 

• 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
• How to create a progressive plan for training, rest, recovery, and competition
  
• Workout guidelines, field tests, and intensity measurement 
  

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