5.0

I loved their previous book (Run Less, Run Faster) so I was super excited to see that they put out a book about keeping running as you get older. I am not in the target 50+ demographic, but a lot of the advice applied to me as I have gotten out of running shape, gained weight, and struggled with strength and flexibility the past few years. The first 2/3 of the book are the reasoning behind their proposed exercise system and the last 1/3 is the system itself. Lots of good encouraging data about how to continue running for your whole life.

I didn't like the effort-based pace system (Garmin forever! I'm just a data driven running), but I think I can combine the 7 hour exercise week from here with their pacing tables from the previous book. I'm already implementing the recommended stretches and it's helping with my soreness. Excited to put this into practice.
