Fast After 50 is for every endurance athlete who wants to stay fast for years to come.

You don’t have to slow down as much as you think. Generations have been told that aging means slowing down and taking life easier, but this is an unwelcome message for endurance athletes who have dedicated decades to training hard and getting faster. New research on aging athletes shows that cyclists, runners, and triathletes can limit their age-related performance declines if they go about it the right way.

Now America’s leading endurance sports coach Joe Friel shows how athletes can race strong past age 50. Drawing from his decades of coaching experience and the most current research on aging and sports performance, Friel offers a smart approach to staying competitive in triathlon, bike racing, and running. By training to ward off the effects of age, cyclists, runners, and triathletes can extend their racing careers for decades—and race to win.

Fast After 50 includes effective workouts, a focused strength training program, and proven guidelines on recovery and nutrition for high performance. In this groundbreaking book, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number—and race results are the only numbers that count.
