Over 35 and want to win your age group and run injury-free for the next 50 years? Run for Life lays out a plan for remarkably fit athletic aging that can increase strength and speed on less workout time and leave you in a position to, as author Roy M. Wallack says, "Run to 100. Not just live to 100 and shuffle along when you get there, but do what few, if any, have ever done: Actually run a 5k, 10k, or even a marathon on your 100th birthday." Traveling the running world from Kenya to Tahiti and Boston to Badwater in search of the keys to super-fit running longevity, Wallack tests new running methods, products, and fitness regimens, and talks to the world''s top coaches, athletes, and researchers as he develops a science-backed, time-efficient strategy summarized as * Run Soft * Run Less * Run Stronger * Run Flexible * Run Straighter * Run Faster. The result is a one-two punch that works by delaying and even reversing the two factors that cripple all runners: the natural muscle and VO2 Max deterioration that starts at age 35, and the specific joint deterioration caused by running. Featuring 10 extensive oral-history interviews with super-fit, all-time greats, such as Frank Shorter, Bill Rodgers, Rod Dixon, Helen Klein, Laszlo Tabori, Bobbi Gibb, and Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Run for Life brims with innovations, including:

·Soft Running form: The proven way to cut knee-shock -- and injuries --by 50%; ·Barefoot Running: Why going unshod strengthens feet and lessens impact. ·Hand orthotics: A simple handgrip that perfects your armswing; ·HGH Strength Training: Fast, high-intensity exercises that build power by raising human growth hormone release; ·Ultra Intervals: Crazy-hard 30-second sprints that cue rapid speed gains on minimal training; ·High-tech Water Running: Radical pool tools making champion runners -- and you -- faster and safer on land; ·Runner-specific Yoga: Exclusive from famed multisport yogi Steve Ilg; ·Bionic Hips and Knees: New operations restoring broken-down marathoners to their 30-year-old selves; ·Secrets of the Kenyans: Rift Valley tips from the Italian genius behind their success ·Perfect running posture: a renowned postural therapist straightens you out for speed and safety; ·Runaway Weight Loss: How slight changes in diet and timing can melt fat and race times.
