    The Long Run: Aging as Athletes

    The Long Run: Aging as Athletes

    February 6, 2026
    30m
    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we kick off a brand new February series focused on what it really means to keep running as the years add up and the miles add character. As more of us find ourselves stepping into the Masters category, we explore how aging changes our training, recovery, and mindset, and why getting older doesn’t mean slowing down but getting smarter. From learning to respect rest days to embracing strength work, mobility, and experience-earned wisdom, we talk about how we adapt, evolve, and continue chasing goals without chasing our younger selves. Because this stage of running isn’t about proving anything, it’s about longevity, community, and still showing up at the start line together. We may have a few more creaks and a slightly longer warmup, but we’re still here, still moving forward, and still very much in the race.
