Can I be athletic at 50? How to train, recover, and thrive in midlife

According to a study on long-distance runners, significant age-related performance declines are not seen until after age 55, proving that you can be athletic at 50 and beyond with the right strategy. While the body changes in midlife, a sedentary lifestyle is often more to blame for lost fitness than aging itself. By adjusting your approach, you can maintain or even improve performance long after your 40s.
