• How the body's response to training changes with age, how to adapt your training plan, and how to avoid overtraining • How to shed body fat and regain muscle density • How to create a progressive plan for training, rest, recovery, and competition • Workout guidelines, field tests, and intensity measurement In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number - and race results are the only numbers that count.
