Q&A for Masters Runners with Frank Sanchez

Episode 252 Published 3 years, 5 months ago

Frank Sanchez is a Physician Associate and has been a medical director of the Lifetime Fitness Miami Marathon.

Today, the Run Smarter Patrons have submitted questions to Frank on how to survive and thrive as a masters runner. I ask:

1.) Would you recommend increasing or decreasing the amount of cross-training as athletes get older?

2.) Is it okay to train for a marathon with only easy, long and tempo runs?

3.) I get injured every time I run more than 3 days per week. Is this a function of a masters runner?

4.) Should we increase or decrease strength training as we get older?

5.) Are there any dietary changes for master runners?
